Does ammo go bad? It’s a common question and one that is fairly simple to answer. Generally, ammo does not go bad; however, some storage conditions can cause ammo to fail, and there are some downsides to long term storage of ammo, including:
Big and Bad vs. Short and Accurate could easily sum up the argument between the 10mm and the .40 S&W rounds. A lot of focus is on the 180-grain 10 mm which has decent stats – 1,300 feet/second and 708 ft-lbf in comparison to the .40 S&W with 200 grains delivers velocity in the 1050 feet/second range and 490 lb-lbf. Clearly, the 10mm is more powerful, but that power comes at a cost – The recoil is huge and that can play with accuracy, especially in the second or third shot with quickfire situations.
Many people ask us, “what is the best type of bullet to buy.” Understandably, it gets confusing, especially if you are new to guns and shooting. There are so many different types of bullets available, and since some are not always legal to own, it is important to understand the different types of bullets available.
It is always fun to compare two bullets, and perhaps this comparison has played out a million times, yet the argument continues to blaze with the passion of one versus the other.
