I sorted this ammo and it came to 794 rounds, all Berdan primer FN 50 or FN 51. Fired 60 rounds yesterday between rain showers. no slow or hang fires, I think this ammo was stored in good conditions for most of it's 60+ years. Still loaded in the staggered configuration on the stripper clips.

Got to shoot my new Lithgow, starting to like the No1 rifle more and more.
