Eldorado custom .375 H&H ammo
Please forgive me for this posting, I'm not trolling.

My father in law passed away and I'm charged with handling all his firearms/ammo/reloading sell off for my mother in law. Most of this is no problem, HOWEVER....

He had about 300+ rounds of .375 H&H Eldorado factory ammo. It's the old Barnes "blue bullets, 300 grain projectiles. This isn't to get a price, I'm just wondering if it's worth pulling the bullet as I remember there was some controversy regarding barrel fouling or should I pull it down and sell it off for brass or just sell it as is? Your opinion is appreciated. Thank you.

Since it's factory loaded I'd sell it as is. I'm not sure which bullets you have: the "old" .049" copper jacket lead core or the newer X bullet. Fouling was a problem if a lot of pure copper jackets were fired, but there is enough bore cleaner on the market now that fouling isn't an issue.
