Id break them down and use the bullets, save the l.c. brass, throw the other in the scrap pile, use powder in flower bed. With the 50, if you have to ask its not worth the risk.

Is the stuff with FN as part of the headstamp actual FNH ammo? I'd buy one of those off of you if that's true.

That DM 4 headstamp is most likely WW2 era. Would be worth keeping or selling.

From that mix of headstamp, it looks like TNW reloads. Mixed casings, loaded with either extruded powder or ball powder, wildly varying charge weights anywhere for 210 to over 240 grains. Pull down projectiles. Powder sometimes in stages of decomposition. Some cases dented, will not chamber.

Your links are rusting, looks also like possibly some yellowish dust on the ammo/links, could be a sign of powder decomposition.

I have shot a bunch of it through a semi M2HB, but have resorted to pulling it down for components. There have been reports of people blowing up guns with it.
I wouldn't recommend shooting it.
