I know it should shoot just fine, but what do all of you think of shooting ammo that was manufactured in (I'm assuming) the 70's? One of my grandfathers was a LEO back in the day and when the department switched from carrying 357's to Glocks, he ended up being given a bunch of 357 mag ammo. My grandfather doesn't shoot much anymore and mostly shot 38 specials, 45's and rifles, so he is giving me the 357 ammo he has. He says they are pretty hot, but I haven't tried any yet. They are not reloads, all of them I have seen are nickel plated brass, hollow points, and headstamped either R-P 357 Magnum or WW Super 357 Magnum. I know the R-P is Remington, and the WW Super is one of Winchester's brands.
I'm not worried about them being safe to shoot or anything, I'm more curious if there are any major differences in recoil or velocity with ammo from 50 years ago versus ammo today and if there is any other reason I shouldn't shoot them. I don't think they are collectible or anything only being 40-50 years old for a fairly popular caliber.
I can post pictures in a few hours when I get off work and make it home.
