I agree.  Great to look at but I wouldn't shoot them. 

I was given 4 boxes of 30-40 220 gr Remington Kleenbore a while back.  These were suspected to be early 60s vintage.  The ammo looked very good.  I shot a few rounds over the chrono.  Velocity ranged from 2010 to 2385.  Corresponding recoil was noticeably different too. 

I tried to pull a few bullets without much luck.  They were stuck, galvanic bonding between copper jacket and brass case.  I attempted to break the bond by bumping the bullet against a seating die.  Nope, only succeeded in crushing the shoulder.  They were really stuck!

Wow!  I'll bet that 220@2385 was a thumper!  It's good that you had a chronograph going.  I need to get one of those gadgets!
