My experience with Mark VII .303 ammo from 1943 is that it works fine if stored in reasonably temperate and dry conditions (i.e. in a drawer in a non-leaky house), as long as you check each round and discard the ones that have become corroded for whatever reason. Lacquered military issue ammo (not all countries do this) lasts very well as long as the coating isn't damaged, even in less than perfect conditions.
