I have fired much older surplus ammunition.. It is all about condition in storage, if it is you described, it would be great "shoot'em up" ammo for informal target practice.

Before you go shooting though, you do know the proper procedure for dealing with a "hangfire" or "misfire"?

Here is a great video showing how to handle these occurrences safely.

Happy Shooting!!
