    Remington 8mm Lebel Kleanbore ammo.

    Any idea when this box of ammo was made?

    Maybe between 1946 and 1960? Here's a site to assist you in your hunt... Click the link.

    Thank you. Any idea of the possibilities that this ammo is still good to shoot?

    According to the link provided, the box type I have is dated from 1934-1942. The link discusses only pistol and revolver cartridge boxes, but I’m going to assume the same box type and dates will apply to rifle cartridges as well. Thanks again.

    In my opinion by just looking at condition in the pic...I'd think it will go bang. I used to pull bullets and change primers so the old primer didn't hang fire. I also found powders to be everything from crisp to almost liquid in condition. But this looks OK.

    Boxes are all marked the same way, no matter what caliber... I think you're not looking at details in your pics and the box but it's your thing... 1946/1960 left side box is spot on?
