As far as I know, the new (non-corrosive) primers last forever, but
not so when it comes to the old, WWII vintage corrosive primers.

I still have some WWII or post WWII vintage corrosive
ammunition. (7.62x54, unknown country of origin) The only plus of it
was that it was cheap. Appriximately one out of four or five rounds is
a dud. That's OK with me, as I use it at gun ranges only.

minimum food or water,in austere conditions, day and night. The only thing
clean on him is his weapon. He doesn't worry about what workout to do---
his rucksack weighs what it weighs, and he runs until the enemy stops chasing him.
The True Believer doesn't care 'how hard it is'; he knows he either wins or he dies.
He doesn't go home at 1700; he is home. He knows only the 'Cause.' Now, who wants to quit?"
