[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 2550220, member: 69192"] I have some loaded ammo that I kept in my basement for 25+ years. It was so old that the lead tips on the .227 Nosler partitions were corroding. My basement runs between 50-65% humidity. Took the rounds to the range and was shooting MOA with them and no issues at all. Can say the same for some 35 Remington ammunition. As for depriming live primers I’ve done it more times then I’d like to admit, never any issues whatsoever. I’m talking like hundreds of primers if not more in my 60 years of reloading. If you’re worried about the integrity of the primers you already have seated, try chambering and firing a couple. I suspect that you’ll find that they’re fine. [/QUOTE]
