Ammunition Shelf Life
#4
I've had military surplus ammo that was 50+ years old and it fired just fine. Most problems are caused by corrosion on the case, which causes feed problems. Almost all military ammo is sealed, so normally will last just about forever.

As others have said, keep it reasonably dry and all will be well.
Full of ideas, but slow to produce parts
