any idea when this ammo was made.

[Nitris]

I have had this ammo for years, it looks rather old but have no idea how old. Might not be safe to shoot. Any help would be appreciated.

Looks like late 50s to late 60s boxes. As long as it was stored in a dry, relatively cool place it should still be as good as the day it was made. Heat is the main enemy of ammo, especially unjacketed lead as the base contains a wax like lube that can melt into the powder and kill it. As long as it didn't hit 100+ temps for long periods of time, no worries.

If you are really worried about it, pull the bullet from a round and smell the powder. Powder breaking down really stinks.
