I don't reload and use factory ammo in all my guns. How long does standard factory ammo last on the shelf when stored in my house, assuming dry conditions (30%-50% rel humidity) at room temp? I have some ammo that is pushing 15 years old, and I'm not sure if it loses velocity, or if primers start to go bad, etc... Also I'm talking about hunting ammo loaded by Remington, Federal and Hornday. Not military surplus ammo from over seas. Any insights would be appreciated by those of you who have knowledge of this topic. When I google the topic I get a wide range of answers and would like the HT crew to weigh in on the subject. Thanks !
