Several months ago, I purchased 500 rounds of Win Ranger 40 HP from an online dealer.  Very good price at 12.99 a box with free ship.  I took a box to the range that I belong to and mentioned it to the guy that was running the place.  He said that seemed awful cheap.  Who knows were it has been.  Rolling around in the back of a cop car or sitting in some non-climate controlled warehouse...blah blah blah.  Basically, I guess that he was saying that he would not trust it???  I shot 75 of them and they went bang every time.  Accuracy was fine.  I have shot plenty of pre WWII ammo and have NEVER had an issue.  I am sure that none of that stuff was "stored properly".  What do you guys think?

He might have a point, but it's a moot one. If it was $29.99 per box, what makes you think it would be any more/less trustworthy?

So true.  Heck, how do you really know how any ammunition has been treated from factory to store?  

I just think that short of the boxes soaking in water or being stored in a kiln (which obviously neither had happenend) that they would be just fine.

A lot of the RA40155/180HP ammo was made in the last two years. It was sold cheap to get rid of because LE sales are very bad for those loads.  It was not sold whole sale because it was trade in or old stock.
