LOL! I busted out laughing upon reading your response!!! You absolutely give till I hurt don't you!I'll tell you what, in the name of science send me all your new powders and I will do a long term study to see if it is true. And to be safe, all your newer primers too!
That is reassuringNo one is telling me that the powder or primers I buy have a shelf life, and I buy a lot of both being a manufacturer and all.
A friend recently mentioned that during the Obama regime smokeless powder was required to be manufactured with a shortened or set shelf life. That new powder does not last long periods of time. Can anyone shed light or (hopefully) debunk this rumor.
As a retired s/w engineer with 30+ years experience, I mostly disagree with this assertion.The computer industries are masters of it though though programing methods.
I agree. If for no other reason, the matter of liability. Because once packed into loaded cartridges, a pre-programmed rate of deterioration could cause dangerous failures later. It might not be as simple as a failure to go bang.All that jabber aside, I find it hard to believe the powder industry follows those practices or their sales volume will be waning any time in the future. Especially when only a few businesses make powder, but businesses many use it. There may even be safety and legal issues involved were it to be so. Still, when things are difficult to prove, advantages will be taken.
The rumors of reloading components having shortened or pre-planned deterioration have been floating around foryearsdecades.
