September 22, 2022If you have a batch of ammo that is hang firing, I would not shoot any more of it. After my experience of shooting thousands of different rounds more than 50 years old, I would advise you not to “dispose” of any old ammo. As long as it has been kept dry and isn’t corroded, it will probably fire.
