Good afternoon. I have come into a little bit of ammo from an older gentleman who had this stuff tucked away. Can anyone give opinions on the quality and if it would likely be ok to shoot? Much of it appears to be reloads from companies (DCI, Continental Arms, and 3D) that are no longer in business. I think I found a post somewhere that referred to DCI as being from the 90's. They are almost all non jacketed lead bullet tops, and some are hollow points or defensive rounds it would appear. I assume that when it comes to reloads you also can't trust a plus p designation on the bottom of the cartridge. Also most of the cases seem to be chrome or nickel plated. They aren't magnetic and they don't feel like steel or aluminum. There were a few bags of cases. I'm wondering if these reloading companies would accept used cases back and maybe offer some type of rebate or discount? Only box that I found with a price tag appears to be from 4 seasons dated in the year 2000. Are these cases that appear to be nickel or chrome plated likely still ok to be used by someone? Some of the hollow points with exposed lead seem to show some oxidization. Any information anyone can provide about these companies or the ammunition would be helpful. Sorry for all the pics but I figure a picture is worth 1000 words.
