[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Questions on ammo

Aluminum cased ammo:
I am thinking of buying a large quantity of Blazer to store for future use, and have heard that aluminum becames brittle with age.

Nickel-plated cases:
Have heard that the plating will "migrate" over time and actually "wield" the bullet to the case.

So....
What is the prognosis for long term storage of these guys?

Both should be find.

"Brittle with age'? Hmm we build highway rails out of aluminum (I don't see them regularly replaced), I've seen 30+ year old AR-15s/M16 still being fired..
