My dad's got an old .30-30 and about 1/2 a box of ammunition. The tips on all the cartridges are a bit flattened, the cannelures aren't visible, and the brass is scratched as if it's been loaded into the rifle quit a few times.
I was concerned that some set-back might have occured and bought him 2 new boxes. I can't really discern any length difference between the old cartridges and the new ones; so, I don't know wether this stuff is safe to fire. Is there any way to tell?
Also, about how long can ammuntion be left in a tube magazine?
Thanks,
