[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 1782924, member: 796"] I kinda go overboard on closely inspecting and shooting defense loads I carry, and it can get a little expensive, that's the rub. On the other hand, I've seen ammo taken out of others' guns that was corroded and one even had a cartidge with the powder leaking out. A derringer that had been carried loaded for years had to have the cartridges driven out. So what I suggest is based on the human psychology that anything we don't do at least every year we tend to totally forget about, you know, like the smoke alarm batteries. And guns don't beep to remind us. So if once a year, maybe in your birth month, you shoot the loads you have in the gun, expecially those that have been cycled in semi-autos, you'll at least never be carrying ammo more than a year old. Added: The ammo that has been properly stored away from vibration and humidity in the box obviously is going to last far longer, decades even, without problems. [/QUOTE]
