I'm thinking of laying in a goodly supply of bullets, and the Missouri Bullets have done very well by me. So I'm wondering this:
What is their "shelf life"? More specifically, obviously, is that of the lube.
I understand that keeping them in a hot place is likely to be NG; mine are stored in my basement where the temperature never exceeds 68 or 70. Cool and, yes, dry, as a dehumidifier runs more or less constantly.
But if I kept them for, say, 5 years before I reloaded them, would I expect any degradation of the lube? What about after loading?
I don't expect to keep a bunch of them loaded--I shoot, I reload, I shoot, I reload.
