I was looking at Lapua's website and noticed they said their brass is good for about 5 years under certain conditions.Is there a certain way they should be stored for longer life?I just stocked up on some more 300wm brass,so i might not be using it for a while(until my currrent lapua brass is no good).
Do brass cases have a shelf life?

Well, I don't know all there is to know about brass or brass cases but I have some WW2 GI 30-06 stuff dated back to (19)42 and it works just fine. Still have a little of Hogden 4831 powder from the same period and it works good too.

Yep, 'bout as long as the shelf.;)

Depends on where your shelf is I'd think. I've used stuff that's over 20 years old and was stored indoors and it was all good.

"Just keep it away from any moisture."
I dunno 'bout that. Some folks think dry rot is worse than wet rot.
:D
