Does anyone know what year these are from and if they're safe to fire? To be honest I have fired one a couple years ago but they look a little worse for wear. The files have to be small so if they're too blurry I can throw them somewhere else and add a link.

How do the primers look? Any corrosion? I’d try to find something a bit newer.

They would probably be OK at the range. But what what if a half dud plugged your barrel?

I'd dig a hole and bury them.

If they look good without serious corrosion, should be fine to fire.

Years ago I had a bunch of old 303 ammo that suffered a fair degree of neck splits. You could always pull the bullets, dump the powder and punch the primers. If you did that I would anneal the necks before reloading the brass. Gary know best about annealing.
