BEST brand of loaded buckshot for long term storage?

[hillbillydruggist]

I wondered if a specific brand (remington, hornady etc..) or type (hunting, tactical etc...) would have an advantage. ones that would the brass would corrode less, powder still good, things like that.

thanks

I don’t know about storing better than any other brand but several years ago I got a good deal on Royal buck I bought 1000

Storage conditions are everything. Keep them dry and cool.

It all depends on how and where you store it. I have stuff sitting around on a shelf (out of the box) that shows no real signs of corrosion. It is in the vicinity of 35 years old. Other stuff the same age right next to it that has been out hunting, got a little water, sweat, blood or other things on it, that is a little corroded. I don't think any of the ammo will go bad in your lifetime if you store it with just a little care.

Let me know if you find any for sale

I have resorted to loading my own including casting the buckshot. I believe components store better anyway.

Ive got several complete boxes and a partial of Remington number 4s that are in paper hulls. A friend gave them to me and said they had been carried too many times duck hunting and had been rained on. They have been 100% as far as going off when I pull the trigger. This makes me think that I should buy green, but I like the red ones and their cousin the black ones.
