I hope this may be the right place to ask, but anyway, here goes.
Recently (within last couple of years) I've heard that recently, commercially loaded ammo by U.S. manufacturers is loaded with powder/propellants that have a much shorter shelf-life. I would like to find out anything regarding this.
Without getting into "politics", it wouldn't surprise me in the least bit, that the government may have imposed certain "sanctions" (for the lack of any other term) against the manufacturers, quite possibly to reduce or eliminate the stockpiling of ammo by John Q. Public. I'm not a militia man, or even what one would call a survivalist, but when I find a good deal on sporting ammo, I buy extra, as the prices on always on the climb. Right now, I'm using up the last of a 500 round brick of .22 long rifle ammo that I bought about 25 years ago.
Any thoughts, info or whatever would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
