A friend of mines father fell ill and they are going through old stuff and finding a ton of ammo. I stopped by tonight to check some out and I found 16ga shotshells where the brass looks odd almost like it’s bulged all the way around and there is orange packing inside instead of a crimp, Winchester 22lr rounds that say super something on the box. It’s super x but says like super velocity or something, 9mm 90gr police issue super vel, yes it says police issue on the box, Remington and PMC 44mag swc, a lot of 32 auto, some Mauser rounds, and some that appear to be 22mag but centerfire. Head stamps were so small and worn I couldn’t make heads or tails what was what. We found another box of loose 9mm and a quart bag full of 38spl reloads with a nice typed card stock note saying 158gr lead wadcutter with x grains of unique and had a velocity listed. We have no idea what to do with this ammo and I said don’t shoot any of it cause the father is almost 80yo who knows how old the ammo is. One thing I found odd about one box of 44mag was it said 240gr plated HP.
Any idea what to do with it? I reload so I can pull bullets but don’t want to mess with possibly antique ammo if they could possibly sell to a collector. Seeing a bag of rifle ammo that’s not got a caliber and being reloads and the 38spl I’m fearing all the other stuffs reloads so no way I’m shooting it.
