This question has been adressed many times in questions to the American Rifleman Magazine technical editor.

I just picked up 2 boxes of this ammo at the local gun show. They are both dated, on the bottom of the inner tray, 1967. I bought them because of their "neat" factor and have no intention of shooting them. But, it is good to know I can if I want to! Thanks John Traveler!
