Do shotgun shells have a shelf life?
I found a box while doing some spring cleaning. No date but it has some numbers on it. I dont have a shotgun anymore either.

12 gauge - 2 3/4 - #8 shot

I've fired shotgun shells that are 70 years old. Pretty sure they're fine as long as they were stored properly. If they're plastic don't even worry about it."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

Yup, plastic (red). Maybe someone wants to trade, I will take some .40 shells.Originally posted by SilverbackComment

well, they're probably standard 7 1/2 field shot, not worth much at all even in large quantities. A case goes for like $40 (250).Originally posted by Rick Modena View Post"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

Only issue I could see is if they shells split in storage, they could have problems feeding, but should still shoot fine if you can get them chambered..."Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." - Thomas Jefferson, 1776Comment

I figured the same thing but he states he does not have a shotgun so he is SOL until he buys one or borrows one...Originally posted by BlackGT View PostOriginally posted by Sean88gtOriginally posted by Baron Von CrowderComment
