Self-Defense Carry Ammunition, How Often to Inspect?

If it weren't for going to the range and firing; I probably would be quite guilty of not checking my service rounds. I empty them and refill my mags with "range ammo" which is the same load except for the slight difference in bullet type and weight. Any rounds fired as a security team member would normally be within the confines of our church, not at distances that would be significantly impacted by the bullet weight.

Depends on where stored my truck gets replaced twice a year due to changing Temps/weather Brother Rick.

I would check you ammo before every time you go shoot, load you ammo up before you go check for the round center and blem rust etc, for you self defence ammo follow what the manufacturer recommends but check it every day visually before leave the house. The last thing you want is a bad round in the middle of poop going down, make sure you shore you ammo in dry boxes in a safe place with monster pack and change them out as often as you can to prevent rusting. If you have ammo can green cans they seal from water but it it be open use the moisture pack in the cans a dehumidifier in you safe and storage can help. Also remember the 4 rule of fire arms safe handle every firearm as if it is loaded until you physically inspect that the chambers cleared and free of any obstructions number two keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire three never point the firearm at anything you do not want to destroy for know what's beyond your target in all circumstances
