Q: What is the shelf life of .22 LR ammunition?

A: Properly stored .22 LR ammunition can remain functional for decades. Store it in a cool, dry location away from temperature extremes and moisture. Ammunition stored in climate-controlled environments retains reliability longer than rounds exposed to heat cycling or humidity.
