About 2 years ago I bought a few hundred paper 410 shells. This is loaded ammo. Honestly, I don't know if factory, or reloads. Anyway, finally got around to trying them squirrel hunting. First 3 shells failed to go boom. Walked back home and traded for some "modern" shells. My question is this...do these old shells go bad after a while or what? I've got hundreds of these things, bought with the hopes of smelling paper burn on cold, crisp morning. So far, my dreams of "the good ol days" is lost. And, FWIW, i also bought a few hundred in 12 gauge. Hope I didn't just waste my money. Any suggestions??
