Given that the powder is still good, I would keep any boxes you have not yet opened, for collector value.

Agree, not really worth the risk of shooting, especially in your “new” Resistance rifle. But, would be an interesting experiment to see how consistent the muzzle velocities are and what the accuracy is like. I’d guess hat the bullets are not goin to shoot that well, perhaps 3 to 4 MOA.
As a reference, my 1943 and 1944 Canadian .303 Mk 7z still shoots 100% reliable and right on spec muzzle velocity. Accuracy is 2 to 3 MOA. I also have some 1951 Mk 7z that shoots even better, under 1.5 MOA, and was selected for use in DCRA Matches thru the 1960’s.
