Shelf life for defense ammo stash?

I've just shot .38, 9mm, and .45acp ammo I bought 20 yrs ago and they bang just fine. I did not store them with desiccant, just in boxes.
 
If stored in "non-extreme" temps and environment (dry), good for the duration of your life.

For the OP, what model gun cabinet do you have (doesn't sound like a "safe")?
 
Does anyone have a decent gauge for shelf life for premium self defense ammo? Does a year sounds reasonable.....or too early?

As already mentioned,,,,how it's stored is more important than how long it's stored.

Using fresh ammunition for defense is something I class as - something I can control.

In the manner of, take care of all the details and the big problem is solved,,,I like to address all the things I have control over so they don't pop up unexpectedly when something beyond my control happens..
