Howdy,
A friend turned me onto ~1000 rounds of various rounds. Some look nice and current; brand and boxes I've seen in the past 5 years or less. Other look older like some Armscor Precision with a blue red and orange white box. Some Winchester 5.56 I've never seen before....
Oddly till 2020 I never had to deal with old ammo! With cheap, plentiful and available at even Walmart I kept my 1000 rounds at home and cycled out the boxes when I went to the range. Shot maybe 100 rounds a week for pennies. NOW! I may have 2000 rounds and some of this older stuff I just got.... and not shooting as much as I wait for the pipeline to start moving again.
Anyways.... It's been a long time since I shot ammo older than 5 years or even one year on my shelf. I've heard warnings on second hand reloads but gather even 20++ year old factory ammo should be fine. Right?
I suppose if I get a squib or hang fire dump that box! Any other concerns?
Thanks!
