Cartridges that are chambered in both a weak antiques and strong modern guns, such as .45 Colt or .45-70 are more worrisome.

Well The 7 mag is loaded with various bullets and powders as it probably should be. It is easy to break down compared to many others. The cals I shoot I will break down like the Hornet 243 etc etc. Have found a bunch of 25-06 made from 30-06. Necks were even reamed which is a good sign. couple hundred commercial 25-06 too. None loaded. Even about 250 30-06 AI. Fireformed. about 200 444(some new) brass and the same of 45-70 and some loaded 45-70 with jacketed 300 gr bullets Boxes are marked with the load but will take it down anyway. The biggest concern to me is the handgun ammo. Even though I recently acquired about 500 44 Sp cases there are a couple hundred in this stuff as well as some loaded. Just too much to break down. Evidently there were no other shooters in the family His neighbor got almost all of the handguns
