While cleaning out my garage, I found a few cases of ammo that I suspect have lain untouched in the corner of my garage for 25-30 years. One case of 9mm has the ammo in 50 round off-white cardboard boxes, all packed in a larger cardboard shipping box that it came to me in. I'd like some help ID'ing it; specifically, I'd like to know if it is boxer primed or Berdan (corrosive) primed, and if you guys think this is still good to shoot. (The ammo is surprisingly clean and bright for essentially being "unsealed" in my non-temperature controlled garage.)
The headstamp is: 9mm 5-85 MAL
The boxes are labeled as follows and I have attached pictures (if I did it right!):
50 BUTIR
9mm BALL PARABELLUM
LOT 5 MAL 5-85
I'm guessing that it is Malaysian (maybe) manufactured May 1985? Can anyone confirm this? Anyone shot this stuff? Comments? Any input appreciated. Thanks.
