Ok, wheel gun aficionados, I got one for you.
I found an old gun belt of my father's, and it had a bunch of .357 JSP tucked into it. I know this not just by the look of it, but because the base reads (edit: fixed) 'Federal 357 Magnum' I can also tell you that knowing how long ago my father died, and how long before that my mother made him put all of his guns into hiding, these bullets are at least 15 years old, but probably closer to 20, despite how clean they look. (That's aluminum or some other white/silver metal of some sort - not brass, just bad lighting.)
Is there any chance you can tell me, judging by the line that I hope is clearly visible about 1/3 of the way down where the bullet stops, what weight bullet these are, and if they're likely to still fire after sitting in a box that long?
Cheers
