Re: CCW ammo expires, shots attempted, none fired?
I still have a few odds and ends of various self-defense .45 ACP loads that I bought in the early 90s... Some Corbon, some Black Talons, etc. I shot some of the Corbons couple of years ago. It worked fine. I also still have a few rounds of Corbon's personal defense 44 magnum load left too. All this ammo has been stored in a dry ammo box, so it is in good condition, so I'm not a bit worried about it's safety. I suppose that if it had been carried in my pocket all that time, it could have gotten crusty looking, but I'm sure it would have been OK. The first rounds I ever fired from my dad's old 1911 were a couple of magazines of ammo that had been stored in various garages since WW2. the copper jacketing had a greenish tinge to it, but it fired just fine. Of course, I had to clean the gun thoroughly after firing it, since it was most likely corrosive ammo.
