Proper storage is the key. We fired massive amounts of WW2 dated .50 cal during tank gunnery training in Germanyicon in the Seventies. It all functioned like it has been made last week. The only time it caused any hassle was when range conditions were so dry tracers were restricted and pulling them from the belts was a PITA.
