Changing Out Ammo

[West Chester]

I had some 380 Corbon barely break through paper at the range and not eject the empty case, probably carried 2 years or so daily. Big reality check to rotate carry ammo often

Seems like a big reality check to never carry Corbon in my opinion, or call them up and express your dissatisfaction. Glad you became aware sooner rather than later.

One round or all of them?

Just the round that was in the barrel. Rest fired fine.

As Shakespeare said "it's much to do about nothing". I inherited a box of 9 mm Luger dated 1942, and I wondered the same thing. Would they shoot ? Because they were stored with a bunch of other stuff in an open cardboard box in his basement. I took them all to the range and they shot flawlessly.

I don't worry about the age of my ammunition. I have magazines of 45 acp that I loaded in 1970 and have no worries of about it functioning.
All my EDC firearms are 1911 pattern pistol and most of not all my extra magazines have been loaded prior to 2000 they are .45 acp. 38 super, and 10mm.

Right before I got to your post, I walked upstairs to the fire safe and looked for the paperwork for our Glock.

I'm certain that one of the mags still has HP ammo from back then. Other mags have ammo purchased much more recently - like 2010. LOL

Whatever makes you feel good, I guess, but I don't worry about ammo not going "bang" due to "time".

Since I can't find ammo to replace it, I'm not shooting my HP.

I never rotate it. Every once in a while, I'll draw my carry gun at the range, take one shot, and top it off when I get home. They've always gone bang.
