I found five boxes of 25 year old .38 Special lead bullet (non-jacketed) ammunition that was used for range / target practice by a small municipal police department in the 1980’s. Some of the ammunition has flat lead bullets and some is rounded and I’m sure non of it was good for anything more than practice at the time.
I have a newer .38 special (j-frame) but I’m not sure I’m comfortable using this ammunition even to practice with. Is this kind of ammunition good for anything? Should I find someone to give it to that will use it for practice? If it’s no good, how / where would I dispose of it?
I appreciate any advice.
