Yes, true enough dusttoyou.

Still, nice to have a fresh supply and not so much that you have to turn it over out of concern.

Yes, ammo is currency just about everywhere. Always has been.

Yes, ammo will keep up with the CPI or even do a little better.

It is just that I can think of better places to store extra dollars for now.

Real estate?

Stocks?

Currency?

Gold after it hits all time highs?

Curious where you are looking?

Uhhh... we shoot 70's surplus all the time... it's clean and shoots beautifully every time. That ammo is nearly 40 years old; like any ammunition that is stored correctly, it will last forever.

I have a buddy who, in the eighties, dug up a can of WWII-era .30 cal while digging a defensive position during excercises in TX. It fired just fine.
