    Some of this ammunition maybe about 30 or 40 years old think it’s still good

      Those brass shotshells may be older than you think. I'm seventy-one and we had paper shells when I was a kid. As for the other ammo, it's probably fine. Make your will out beforehand though...........

          Don’t use any of it. If you don’t want to keep it and you have the boxes sell it. Call around and find someone that collects old ammunition. Every gun show has guys that do this

            Full brass shells were used in both WWII and the Korean war. Not sure about WWI. But do know the Germans tried to get the 12 pump "outlawed". They were deathly afraid of an American with a shotgun and buckshot. My ex wife's uncle was a prison guard in Korea. And that is what he used to guard the perimeter. Didn't have to worry as much about getting the paper shell wet. He used mostly Remington pump to guard with.

                  I really like old ammo boxes and such.

                          Don't shoot the Wanda plastic shells. The rim pulls off with extraction. When they first came out I took 3-4boxes white wing dove hunting. I finally cut a willow stick to use as a ramrod to knock out the cases. Single shot pump gun.

                            Those 38 grain 5MM rimfire are turkey killing SOB's. They are worth $50 a box now, even with Centurian (Aguila) making them new.
