[QUOTE="rc508pir, post: 2909201, member: 40091"] If all things were equal, I might agree, but...... Military grade ammo is sealed at both ends for harsh environments. And even then that is dependent on being stored in sealed cans. Once that factory seal on the can is broken, there is no guarantee of longevity. Civilian ammo, and even the highest quality of civilian ammo isn't sealed. Not even the primers. Every time you go from a cold or cool environment to a hot me, ie from your air conditioned house to outside, the case expands and sucks in moist air. Over time, that humidity can ruin your carry ammo. A case of 22 ammo can go bad in as little as 3 years if left to sit in the garage where it goes thru those changing temps. Of course 22 being smaller and having less powder to effect is a factor, but either way, it IS a factor [/QUOTE]
