Have you ever hunted with OLD hunting ammo?

Postby gerardkoepp » Wed Jun 08, 2022 12:29 pm

I'm curious how well the old bullet designs worked compared to what we have today. When I say old, I mean old! I'm talking turn of the century stuff. Stuff made around 1900.
I saw a photo of a box of ammo supposedly from the '30's which prompted me to think about this.
I'm primarily referring to soft points, but I'd love to hear about other designs, as well.

I think you're in the wrong forum...soft points don't usually pertain to upland birds

I routinely DO NOT use 120 year old ammo.
I have one old shell.
It's a 3 incher...DIAMETER. 75mm.
