ammo question

A friend had me take about 3 cases of CCI Blazer ammunition that has been around her house for 10 years. It has not been stored with any great care, but no where moist. What is it worth? A new case is about 190 dollars. Should I buy it and give it to the 4H club?

Cheers, Philip

It would be fine for shooting all but very serious matches rifle or pistol. -- Bill --

Check the lead bullets for corrosion. If there is corrosion it can act like an abrasive going down your barrel.

Don't mistake deterioration of the wax coating for corrosion.

I would use the stuff myself if it was accurate in my gun(s).
