The best I could determine is that before Republicans started stockpiling .22 rimfire ammunition in late 2008 the standard misfire rate for all non target .22 rounds was never more than one per brick with one in five bricks being the average.
Anecdotally, about 2001 I was in Jack First’s Gun Shop in Rapid City South Dakota, where I bought a Ruger Red Label 28 gauge for a thousand dollars, and while checking out there was a huge pile of Remington Golden solid points for $9.99 a box of 550.
I bought 20 boxes, and still have maybe three boxes..
If there was more than one misfire in the entire bunch can’t recall it. The nature of rimfire ammo is that even target ammo will on rare occasions misfire. Most of those will fire if repositioned.
Well stored .22 rimfire ammo in an Air conditioned and heated garage lasts an Indefinite period.
New ammo the last 14 years is **** compared with Pre 2009.
