Videos tagged with Powder Degradation

This video explains that ammunition does not truly expire if stored properly, with tests suggesting longevity of up to 100 years in ideal conditions. While metal cases may discolor or corrode due to oxidation and moisture, this often does not affect functionality if the primer and powder remain dry. Proper storage in sealed containers can mitigate these issues, though cosmetic changes are common.

This video explains that ammunition does not truly expire if stored properly, emphasizing the importance of keeping it dry. While metal components like brass cases can discolor and corrode due to oxidation, this typically does not affect the functionality of the primer or powder. The speakers share personal anecdotes and cite Army testing suggesting ammunition can remain viable for up to 100 years under ideal conditions (dry, stable temperature).
