So I know a lot of people I shoot with and myself included shoot as much as I can in accordance with my schedule and budget.
I usually shoot whatever is cheap and fairly decent -- however I use JHP for my carry loads.
Not many of us have had to fire our carry rounds -- if in fact your carry rounds differ from what you shoot at the range (I know someone will bring up the point of practice with what you carry -- but lets avoid that for just a minute )
Assuming this case -- how long would be advisable to carry these rounds unfired -- 1 year -- 5 years?
Some of the JHP's can be quite expensive and I am not ready to spend 17-25 dollars a box to practice.
Just wondering if this is the case with anyone else and how long you wait before you fire these loads and put 'fresh' ammunition in the magazine.
Maybe an off the wall question for some of you, but I think it is a legitimate concern for misfires, hangfires, etc...
