Went to the range this morning, and took along my wife's Ruger 44 magnum carbine. Hadn't shot it in years and just wanted to do a function test with the open sights.
The only reloads I have are a box of jacketed hollow points that I loaded on November 11, 1985, only 33 years ago.
We only shot 10 rounds total, and both the carbine and the reloads functioned perfectly. The bolt was a little sluggish because of the cold weather. I will fix (clean) that.
Moral of story: Don't worry about old reloads that have been stored properly. Ole Thumper handled them well, shot right where we pointed.
Have a blessed day,
Leon
