A few years back, I purchased a Sig Sauer - shoots 380 ammo. I had quite a few acquaintances who were replacing their guns (LEO - ankle holster guns), who gave me their leftover unshot ammo. Quite a bit of it.

All of the ammo is whatever you call "first run" - I don't know the term, what I'm trying to say is that these aren't reloads. It's also all hollow point, but I don't think that's relevant to my question.

My question is - does ammo go bad? I have always kept it stored in a very dry location within a large locking trunk. When I go to the range, I usually run about 200 to 250 through the pistol but even at that rate, it's going to be several years before I burn through this cache.

Zero evidence of any corrosion, discoloring and never once has a bullet jammed in this gun.

The ammo is 5 or 6 years old now.

thank you,
