I have 60 rds of 45-70 Winchester brass. new,unprimed, but, about 50
or 60 years old. It is the thick head,(not balloon primer pocket)
They still look just as new as the day I got them.
I wish to load them with some pretty hot loads--Arisaka bolt action.
Anyone have any ideas as to condition, age softening/hardening ?

The 45-350 Rem Mag is my favorite grouse gun when loaded with shot. 9 grouse with 7 shots. Got two pair of doubles on the ground via careful alignment, the rest on the wing.
