This question may seem odd.
I am not looking for advice on reloading but rather on a box of ammunition that has already been reloaded that I inherited in a lot of firearms and ammo.
I received a full/unfired box of 44-40 that were loaded by a place I believe in Silver Lake IN with a paper in it stating the following
.44-40
December '14
Case: WIN
Primer: CCI 300
Powder : TITE GROUP
Wt: 6.0
Bullet: 200grRN FP LEAD
OAL: 1.580
1. Is there anything wrong with 4.5 year old ammo?
2. What kind of velocity should I expect from 6 grains of tite group behind a 200 grain bullet of currently unknown diameter?
3. What kind of pressure???.... is it safe to shoot in model '92 Rossi reproduction?
Thanks for any and all help.
