Hi All, I had posted a 32 Long CTG and I had acquired in another forum. There was a box of ammo with it, looks very old. I'm wondering if I should use it or not. I have no idea how old it is. I thought maybe someone might recognize this Remington box and have an idea. I couldn't find any date anywhere on the box. What do think?
I would try it. The ammo looks to be in decent shape and I don't see corrosion. That ammo was made between 1946 and 1960 based on the box. On the right in a red oval where it says Dupont is one give a way. Before 1946 the logo was different and one oval said UMC instead of Dupont
You can shoot it (should work just fine if stored in cool dry place all those years) or offer it up to collectors, and buy two boxes for the money you get.
Years ago I bought a can of loose 32 S&W cartridges, They were mixed headstamps and some were close to 100 years old. They were not of interest to me as a collector but I was interested to see if they would still fire. I took a couple 32 Smith & Wesson revolvers and fired them. Some were black powder, semi smokless, and modern but every round fired without fail. There were over 100 rounds in that can and of course I had a big job of cleaning my 2 revolver.
