We recently had a thread on "old ammo" and how to get rid of it. Yesterday while cleaning, I found two boxes of Remington .22 Hi Velocity "Mustangs" that I bought in 1968 (price tag said $0.79.) They had been in the cardboard box that my Remington Nylon 12 rifle came in since about 1971. I decided to take them to the range and see if they still shoot. I first tried just one to see if it went off.......it was fine. Anyway, I ended up shooting both boxes and only one had a strike with a FTF. 99 fires and more accurate than the Blazers I was shooting. This was ammo that wasn't kept in airtight or moisture proof containers. Consider that for the last 23 years, its been sitting in cardboard in a beach atmosphere. Anyway, the point is: Don't get rid of that old ammo, if it looks good, try it.
