I believe this batch was 1934. I have a few of those in soft and solid

I am temped to shoot some of them, as I have 200 off them all in sealed org boxes !

Don’t! Ask Doctari what happens when you shoot old ammo or read his story chapter 11 if I recall in his book “it should never happen”… he knocked himself clean cold and woke up with his farm burning. Rather buy or load new ammo as these boxes are getting scarcer to find. Hope this stash can with an original Gibbs?

Have a CZ550 in 505 Gibbs - no drama on ammo I am the distributor for Iceland for Kynoch - so have a supply on hand of modern stuff just intelectual curiosity but have a ballistic remote firing setup so thank you for that - will use it rather than my shoulder

have a yellow box you would like to sell?

@Odinsraven : in that case fire a few and report back. The biggest fear is a hang fire on that old ammo.
where did you find all that ammo?

Off a dealer in the UK was doing a house clearance - was all sorts there - I have a ballistic test rig for remote firing - so it can hang for 24 hrs should it desire !
