On the back of the front lid, is written in pencil, "Deer Camp, 1925" and on the front of the lid is a little tag that says, "The Gremmill Co. Sporting Goods, 400 River St. *&%$#, Troy, NY.
Anyway, the ammo looks real good so I shot a couple of rounds out of an 1892 Winchester SRC, made in 1905. LOTS of smoke--just like blackpowder and the chronograph read 1229 fps 10' from the muzzle.----Sixgun
Some 1940's 180 gr. smokeless chronoed 1335

Howdy fellow guncranks,
I went to this auction last week and in addition to an old well used 94 SRC, I snagged 8 boxes of factory 32-20 ammo. 6 of the boxes were perfect and full while the other 2 were partial boxes along with the empty brass that the previous owner.
Anyway, I decided to shoot the partial boxes along with some other old factory 32-20 ammo I had laying around. Read the boxes as some of the Remington is loaded with 80 gr. mushroom bullets. As all of this ammo was made in the forties to fifties, and possibly as late as the very early sixties, I dug out an old 1955 Gun Digest to see what velocity this ammo was advertised as.
Test gun was my old tried and true 2nd year production 1892 with a 24" barrel. This gun has logged over 7,000 rounds and it's still tight.

All ammo fired perfectly.

No group testing was done. I just blasted it in my backyard bullet trap. Yea, I know, its not much of a test but I thought you boys would enjoy the somewhat anticipated results.

And NO! I ain't chronographing this stuff, but I will when I get near Terry's age. Its a perfect full box of blackpowder 32-20 from 1898.
