Re: Very old ammo
I've recently shot some surplus Yugoslavian 8mm Mauser from the 1950s. Every once in a while, one of them doesn't go off on the first pull of the trigger. I wait to make sure, re-cock, and it goes bang. Of course, the Mauser is a strong rifle action, so I worry less. But I'd imagine if 1950s ammo still works that well, 1990s ammo should be fine as long as it's been stored properly.
