18 months is nothing in the life of well kept ammo.

Fire away.

Exactly.

From the storage conditions you've described I can't see that you'd have any problem.

Used up my last bits of this ammo on the weekend for both the .243 and win mag.

Turns out I was worrying over nothing as everyone suggested. It all shot as well as the new ammo as far as I could tell :)
