I got a bunch of 40 or 50 year old shotgun shells when my father in law died. Kept in the garage in some hot and humid places. They killed a fair number of doves.

Ammo is durable.

I've shot .22 LR that was over 70 years old without any trouble. 98 of the 100 rounds went on the first strike, and the other two went on the second strike.

Stuff lasts damn near forever.
