[QUOTE="( deleted account ), post: 218150, member: 5993"] Rifle ammo lasts decades, assuming it wasn’t flooded for a long time or really abused. We kids in the 50’s shot thousands of surplus .303 British ammo loaded during and well before WW1. Plus A lot of very early 30-06. All this was military surplus stuff. We even ran across some loaded with cordite, We thought it smelled funny after firing it, so with a vice and pliers we’d pulled some bullets! Cordite, no less. That stuff went out in the late 1800’s and still went boom! shotshells - dunno but wouldn’t trust paper shells, though likely ok. Collectors want em so wouldn’t shoot em. But like Allen said and demonstrated -steel can rust into a solid blob and could blow your gun and eyes up! Hate it when that happens! [/QUOTE]
