[QUOTE="aestus, post: 1985201, member: 2989"] Ammo will outlast you if stored properly. My dad had a bunch of loose .22lr in a metal bandaid tin for almost 30 years. This tin full of .22lr has been left outside, been through hot and cold weather, and even changes in humidity. It travelled with us when my parents moved out to California and travelled back with us when they decided to move back to Oklahoma a year later. It's been through 3 houses, transported and forgotten in the back of my car for 6 months through the rain, snow and ice and some even developed some oxidation on the outside. It took me buying a new brick of .22lr for my dad to finally get him to let go of his trusty tin of .22lr. He's the type of person that stores and saves everything and doesn't let a single thing to waste. Loaded them up into a Marlin 60 and about 400 or so out of the 500 went bang. I reloaded the ones that failed to fire and most of them fired on the second try. Only about 20 or so rounds were duds. [/QUOTE]
