with all the ammo hoarding going on curious how long do these turkey rounds last. after season when i see some in stock or i decide to load my own id like to stock up. how long do you feel they are good for?

Properly stored (dry air conditioned space) indefinitely. I bought a bunch of 16 gauge WW upland loads that had been stored in an unheated, uncooled garage. they were the original rendition of the compression formed AAs and were produced in the 1970s-1980s. They ALL worked fine.

Keep e'm dry forever.

Yep, as long as nothing crazy happens to them, they will out last you

Sounds good guys any recommendations for a storage box

[jsh909]

I just leave mine on a shelf in my basement. As long as they are in a dry room temperature area, you won't need any kind of storage box. I have some shells 50-70 years old never been stored anywhere but on a shelf and they work just fine still

Sounds good I will just have the wife dust the boxes every know and then lol

Guys still shoot WW2 surplus ammo all the time. Store it right and your grandkids can shoot it long after your gone.
