I have six boxes (300rnds) of post-VE day French .38Spl 158gr LRN. I’ve had them for about 30 years now. The lead is white with oxidation and this was always dirty, smelly, smoky ammo so it occurs to me I’m just better off taking them apart and rebuilding with fresh powder and bullets. The brass all seems fine - but you never know until you get into them what they are like inside.
Question for the group is, does it seem worthwhile or just shoot them outside, put up with the smoke and carbon, and reload the empties? I don’t want to just toss them as the brass has always been good in the past.
