Good question and at a minimum once a year. If you carry every day, you might consider bi-annually. Usually once a year is more than adequate.

I recall you mentioning some of this to another student in passing from a previous class of yours that I attended. I didn’t fully comprehend the “why” this was important at the time and I meant to ask you more about it at the end of the class but it slipped my mind. It makes complete sense now and I can see how important this could be. The ammo loading order of “strike rounds” is something I also likely never would have considered.

You mentioned that at “a certain interval” you rotate your ammo (and shorten the interval based on conditions), generally how often do you do this based on normal conditions?
