I have a box of tarnished .38 Special Magtech ammo. It may be near 20 years old. How can I tell?
It came with a .357 Trooper I don't even own any more. The ammo is 158 grain, FMJ flat point. There is a circle on the inside flap with multiple rows of numbers around the circumference and a 5 in the center. The outside flap says 38 SPL, 10,24g(158gr.) FMC-FLAT (38P) next line BH1019 L-35. The 38P is referenced on the carton back which is charted to read among other things as 754fps from a 4 inch test barrel.
I held onto this box as defense ammo, but now decided to shoot it up and replace it with something more current. Your thoughts.
