I was bear hunting this year with ammo I reloaded 25 years ago. I have had black power pistols charged for five years and all chambers went bang after I had dropped it in a puddle.

I have two dozen CCWs to chose from on any day so I aint cycling ammo that I know will be fine for my great nephew when he is sixty.....he is seven now.

I work up my practice loads and deffensive loads so that they have the same point of impact and I make sure each works in each gun and then use practice ammo because it is much easyer to clean a bit of lead from hundred year old guns then copper.
