Who has the oldest reloads (your own)? I shot some of mine today.

[Dumpstick]

I a few left from the mid 1980s. I loaded with a Lee hand press (the Thigh-master looking thing) and a scoop. Didn't even own a scalefor years.

They shot just fine. I need to shoot them up to get them gone.

Ironically, I still use a Lee hand press for all my rifle caliber loading and a couple pistol calibers. I have a Rock Chucker, but I only use it for sizing brass.

I Have some 300 Win Mag and AA 12s & 20s from 1980.
I probably have some .41 mag and .357 mag from about tge same time squirreled away somewhere. And maybe some 22-250 or 5.56

I loaded a few 12ga in 1983 (used my father-in-law's equipment) that I did not shoot until 2005. Otherwise, I'm just now shooting some 9mm that I loaded (with my own equipment) in 2016. No problems at all with either set.

Dad found some 44 mag that he loaded probably 30 years ago or more according to him. He said try them in the lever gun because he couldn’t remember the load. They clover leafed in my open sight marlin at 100 yards. I labeled the box ‘hunting’ and put it away.

I still have some 6mm rem and .280 rem from 1989 lol.

 

[turkeyrun]

I have a 100 round "green" box of 180gr .30-06, I loaded in 1983.
I shoot 150gr, but we were going to Colorado to hunt elk. I worked up the load in March and loaded my practice ammo. Shot 20 rounds a week, until we left in October.
Haven't fired a round since. But, if I got a chance to go, I have ammo.

 

[Roadking Larry]

I've got a box or two of 12 gauge reloads my dad made up some time in the late 60's. Far as I know they'd still be good, shot some 10-12 years ago and they were fine.
I've got some 10-12 year old pistol rounds I loaded about 2009-10, shot some a couple of weeks ago with no issues.

Reloaded almost 300 rounds, 130 grain rem core-loc for my .270 in 1992. Winchester 760 powder. Still taking whitetail with them.

 

[27Man]

I shot a little PPC back in the 80s and still occasionally find a box of .38 wadcutters I had loaded during that time. They all still fire just fine.
