I’ve seen that Ed..sometimes it’s just a dry white flaky residue that’s left. If the prices aren’t horrid you’d likely find me buying several types up from your guy to give it a go just for fun

I'm with you Cert. I did not notice any weird/unusual affect of the dried out lube on the old SK match gold ammo I bought. I don't know how old the stuff is. Maybe early 90's?

I just don't know. Since this ammo was in plastic, I could not open it in the store and inspect it before I bought it. The ammo that I keep wanting to go back and buy still has good lube on it. And there is almost 2 bricks of it.

I was talking to a buddy of mine and asked what he thought of the Eley club Xtra, as shown above. I told him it was $7.95/box and he said he would not buy it. The whole time I'm thinking it's match ammo and I've paid much more for match ammo than that. He's one that does not like buying used rifles too, so there's that. He's picky, so maybe not the best person to ask advice on this sort of thing. He's the same guy that will pay $135/brick of primers and $65/lb of H4350 though. I'll probably go and buy that ammo, as I'm interested to see how it shoots in this rifle and maybe even some of my target rifles. My old Winchester model 52 needs to be dusted off!!!
