I got into reloading bigtime about 12 years ago. Mainly as a hobby and stress relief. Well I quickly accrued about 12,000 rounds in 9mm, 38, 357, 44, and 40 cal. They have been kept in a dry basement, mainly in ammo cans and Midway 50 round plastic boxes. They still shoot just fine and are as accurate as the day I first loaded them. How long can I expect for these to last? I have stopped reloading until I can shoot some of this down. I need to hook up with some shooting sports but don't of any in my area.
Thanks for your help.
