Yeah my Russian spam cans are from 76' and shoot great. My Czech, Hungarian, Polish and Bulgarian tins are from the 40s/50s. They still shoot great and show no signs of wear.
They say that the ammo will last 50 years, but thats probably in harsh climates like a hot afghan summer and siberian winter. I venture if the ammo is stored in cool temps with little fluctuation it will last at least 200 years. The corrosive primers stay a lot better than commercial primers.
I don't think the average non-gun owner realizes how many billions of rounds there are in their city amongst civilian gun shooters. Many more rounds than the military has at any given time. If apocalypse were to happen, ammo would be found like treasure here and there for a long long time.
The best investment is a metal ammo can with a good new rubber seal and a dessicant pack. Anything will last forever in that.
