[QUOTE="mr ed, post: 1118964, member: 6777"] You guys worry too much. Prior to the current run on ammo. Most ammo you bought from your local gun shop was at least 3 years old and some 8-10 years old or older. Thats why they don't change the packaging very often. The mfgr. makes it. Then it sits in their warehouse till a dist. orders it. Then it sits in their warehouse till a dealer orders it. Then it sits on his shelf till you buy it. Then it sits on your shelf till you finally shoot it. This is especially true of any odd-ball or unpopular caliber. It's nothing for a dealer to have something like 22 jet or 38 long colt on the shelf for 20 years before somebody finally comes in and buys it. Most surplus 303 brit. 308, '06, 7.62x54 etc is from the 70's or earlier. Hell I've got 60 cases of "06 from the 60's+70's sitting in my shop. just as fresh as the day it was made. [/QUOTE]
