I don't reload ,yet, but am planning to start in the future. I have about 2000 once-fired cases that I have kept after I've been shooting. All this brass is from the major manufacturers and none was ever reloaded (to the best of my knowledge).

My question: Is there a shelf life for this brass? It's never been cleaned, just picked up and deposited into zip-lock bags. I'd like to keep it for when I start reloading, but I want to make sure it wont corrode.

Thanks for the info.
