RE: Bad Rifle bullets????
I have some 8 x 56R ammo that is supposed to be from the late thirties. I have never had a misfire in hundreds of rounds. It came packed in stipper clips, 5 rounds to a clip and 5 clips in a paper-wrapped package, all in a ammo can/tin. Its at least 60 years old but has been kept properly. BTW its accuracy isn't too bad either.
I usually shoot at the range enough to eat up ammo.
I would suggest getting a new box of your favorite stuff every year and shooting half of it at the range to check and set the zero on your gun. Then hunt with the rest knowing you have "new" stuff that is zeroed.
