Shelf life on ammo??
 
Since this whole ammo thing has gone crazy I have been going through my inventory and came across 2 boxes of .38 shorts that belonged to my dad. They are in mint condition but probably 30+ years old. Are they still good and would you shoot them? Thanks in advance.

As long as they have been kept dry you should be ok.

I shot a box of 40+ year old 2 3/4" shotgun shells with no problem in a semi-auto. The shells were always kept indoors.

Keep in a ziplock bag in a ammo can , silica packets don't hurt either

go to army surplus store, get some ammo cans, I keep reloads and equipment in them.
