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. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

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. "I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation." Alfred Hornik, Sunday, December 2, 1945 to his family, on his continuing duty to others for surviving WW II. | |||

Stable temp and humidity, relatively dry and not to hot or cold... cartridge ammo is effectively forever... Observe the neck and primer seal, and overall condition. If you wouldn't eat it, don't shoot it. Arc. ______________________________ "Like a bitter weed, I'm a bad seed"- Johnny Cash "I'm a loner, Dottie. A rebel." - Pee Wee Herman Rode hard, put away wet.
