Re: ammo

i have loose .22 rounds i have had since i was 12 so about 32 years and i didn't think they would fire but every one of them did.

also got some old shotgun shells i found in the attic from when we moved 10 years ago and they fired. it gets over 120 degrees in the attic too

Re: ammo

It is a wonder some did not fire by themselves. My friend had some shotgun shells that fell in his back seat of his car. He forgot about them till 1 fired by itself from heat

probably was not the heat. the primer probably struck something under the seat. Mythbusters did a show with that in it. they could not get them to go off without putting them in an oven and heating them up to a temp that would ignite the interior of the car. gunpowder is actually pretty safe. and it takes a good shock or extreme heat to set it off.

reloads are ok if done correctly.
I used to reload but would check brass after tumbling in walnou shells to clean them. You can get by reloading about 3 or 4 times. Make sure they resize brass correctly or you might get to much or to little head pressure
