If stored properly, longer than yours. I think the term is "cool, dry place", like most anything else, and it effectively lasts forever. I have fired a good deal of ammunition that was loaded in the 19th century.
I might be leery of steel cased military stuff if I didn't know its history. Some may have been in humid tropical climates, and the steel cases may have unseen corrosion. Brass is not subject to this.
If there is any doubt whatsoever as to its storage and handling history, it is better to be safe and not take any chances. Have a friend shoot a few first.
