Is this Ammo safe to shoot?

[mojo]

As my avatar was saying in this scene from Smokey and the Bandit....."you can think about it, just don't do it. Wouldn't look good on my highway!"

Maybe in a big beefy .357 mag rifle. In a little ol' .38? Nope x 6.

what is a "flashover"

I'd just hang onto them as some sort of old memorabilia. I wouldn't risk shooting them.

I wouldn't, but if you do, video it...

I received this .38 Ammo when I got my grandad's old Trooper. Would this be considered safe? Only 45-50 rounds. Some rounds are crimped 2-3 times in different spots.
TIA

I'd shoot them. The Trooper is pretty stout.

Pictures of the old Colt Trooper?

Thanks for the input. Think I'll keep them in a jar on my desk.
Where did they hide the serial # on this thing?

bottom of frame under the grips, that is if it even got one way back them, many were not required

i would shoot them, they're just old 38's. Then i would reload the brass and soot em again
