...The first thing I do, when acquiring ammunition, is to store the ammo in air tight plastic cases, or air tight water proof military ammo cans. Then; I place the ammo cases in black cabinets, with locked doors, always from window light, in an artificially controlled indoor climate. I use the military ammo cans to store my rifle ammunition and ammo stripper clips.

No such thing as old ammo around my house. It gets used up before it gets too old especially in a 22 cal. like CCI or Blazer. These I use in my pistols for target practise. Being a Smith M41 and a M46 they are ammo selective. They don't like a lot of the stuff on the market place to-day.

Outside of some .223 and .308, most of my rifle ammo is military surplus. Most of that is from the 1950's-1970's and it still functions great. It has been stored properly and looks as good as new manufactured ammo. Some of it shoot better than other, with the 7.5 Swiss surplus being every bit as good, if not better than new/commercial ammo.
My oldest ammo, I have some .303 from the 1930's and it functions fine, the Pakistani .303 from the 70's...not so much. I've seen 10 second hangfires w it. I've got 8mm ammo from the 1930's as well. I bought it for about $.03/rd about 10yrs ago. It was as cheap as .22lr and couldn't resist buying a near lifetime supply.
