jonnyoftheboy Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Gents...... excuse my ignorance as a newbie..... but as long as cartridges are kept in cool dry conditions, is there such a thing as a use by date? So if I bought "x" thousand & it took me a months or even years to use..... will they always be in good nick to use? ? Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clayman Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 As long as they are stored clean and dry they should last indefinitely. I have some 8 year old stock still being used up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choked Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Somebody gave me a cartridge which he found in his loft - it was 40 years old. He shot the others without a single misfire. I still have the one he gave me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
