Agreed. The garage is probably not a good place. Peter.
Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong;
Reloads will last no differently than factory ammo. I have 45 acp rounds from WWII that were properly stored and are still good. I have 12 guage shells from the early 80's that weren't stored well at all. only about 50% went bang at all. A few 38 special rounds I reloaded ended up loose on the dash of my truck. It's hot and humid down here in SC. After about a year I noticed them up there and tried shooting them, all three were dead. Those rounds were "stored" at 90+% humidity and the interior of that truck would hit 160F no problem during the summer months.
When I am loading ammo that I plan on storing away, I wear gloves while loading it, to keep oils from my skin off of it. Then I put it in ammo cans, along with a few dessicant packs, seal it, and stack it in my closet.
