I has some ammo delivered to my house in Vermont. They left it in my steps @ -8 degrees Fahrenheit. I know they say keep it between certain temperatures should I be worried this ammo might not fire if I try to use it?

Stanley, no worries whatsoever Sir. That was too short a stint as ammunition storage over much longer lengths of time determine the quality degradation. Every round will go bang! Cheers and stay safe!

Josh T. · Answer

No, you have nothing to worry about. Keeping them dry would be the main concern.  If it's cold out while you're shooting it can have weird effects on the ammo but once they're brought in and warm back up your fine. So fire away. Hope this helps.
