Just found a 20rd box of Federal Hydra-shok 9mm I purchased in 1994....safe to use?

[Glock Shooter]

I was cleaning out my safe yesterday and found a box of Federal 9mm I purchased from SM Guns in Eugene, OR back in 1994. Do you think after 21 years they're safe to use?

[Great-Kazoo]

yes. Unless there's corrosion around the primer area or the cases look split / damaged. However the chance of primer corrosion on boxer primed ammo is almost 0

However if you're concerned about shooting it, i'd swap you for a new box of hydra-shok.

I has turned sour. Please let me know where I can pick it up and safely dispose of it.

I have often used ammo 3X that age for carry loads.

I bought over 800 reloads from that Era and they all shoot fine (just not in my gun...).

Wat did you pay for it out of curiosity?

Owning a Mosin-Nagant will recalibrate your world, in so many ways.

Disappointed to only find 7 rds. Here are the photos, looks like I paid $11.95

I've got Lake City and TW dating back to 1951. I think you're fine with stuff 1/3 as old ...
