I heard that shotgun shells would go bad before centerfire cartridges, is this true?
Also will #4 or #1 buck be just as efective in stopping large unwelcome critters within 10-30 yrds just as well as 00buck? The reason I ask is one of my 870's with the 18" CYL borepatterns these much better than 00.
BTW my shells are stored in the house and in the gun safe with the use of disectent and I have over 200 rounds of 00buck that is over 5 - 6 years old.
