That is the end of a life time of having left over from each season...

15 one year, 11 the next, 17 the next, 15 the next... X 20 years...

dates on ammo, date back from 1993 or so...

so now, 10 and refresh if needed, disassemble at the season end..


So, Seafire, you disassemble them? Why? Just to have fresh powder? Would you install fresh primers too?

My cartridges last a long time, though granted, I'm not in a rainy state like Oregon. Just asking.

If I can pencil in a hunt this year, I'm likely to bring my 300 WSM, which is new to me. It is a honey, but not exactly light weight. I just received some fresh Federal Premium with 180 gr. Nosler Partitions for it. No reloads on hand in that caliber.

How's everyone doing?
