Ok, most die hard CHL holders will tell you 6 months max but honestly I go through a mag of carry ammo in almost all my carry guns at least 3 times a year so I don't worry about it. The only thing I watch for is bullet set back. As long as you keep replacing your chambered round and oils and water don't reach the powder or primer you have little to worry about. I had the same carry ammo in one of my 9mms for almost two years and all three mags went bang.
