Is the Chilean mid-70's ammo any good. Berdan primed.

What do you know about how it has been stored all these decades? 

[Stonebuster]

Nothing at all.

Does it still look good . Any corosion on the brass or bullets? I have had good luck w/ surplus ball ammo from the 70's & 80's. If it was stored in a dry place and not been exposed to real hot conditions it should be OK. YMMV

Take the head-stamp information on it and run a Google Search.you can find out a lot about individual ammo batches. I did this with some 1970’s Indian Army ammo and found that what I had was considered good quality, but that early 1980’s ammo from India had serious issues. Shot it all with no problems.
