    On a slightly related note....are cases from 25-30 years ago still okay to use, or do they go brittle with time? I have a bunch of cases from the mid-late 1990's, no corrosion as such just looking a...

    I agree with the above. Can I ad that the biggest issue with this whole matter is that so many people dont actually know how to chamber a round silently and dont practice it. So instead of sneaking...
