I still have a partial brick of some 1978 US Army Match .22 ammo I was told was standard velocity Winchester Super X. It’s had 100% ignition with tack driving accuracy for 45 years.PlumHollow » 28 Aug 2023, 7:38 am » wrote: ↑ How long do you keep rimfire ammo laying around?
I had some pretty old stuff and used an inexpensive (but new) revolver to shoot it.
Many duds. I wondered if the hammer wasn't striking properly. Looked like a nice deep hit. So I rotated the rounds to "reshoot" them without any luck. A second fairly deep striker mark and got nothing.
New ammo seemed fine with that same gun. Any thoughts?
Modern .22 ammo since the middle 1990s has came usually in 500 some round tubs, and all of it made since the election of a black man to the White House is some pretty sketchy stuff.
Since Obama we buy anything we can get, and a lot of it’s ****,
