    I rotate fairly often, probably once a month. As for rechambering, the biggest risk for bullet setback is with the .40 S&W.
    Draw me not without provocation, sheath me not without honor.

      Every time I eject a round I dot the head stamp with a Sharpie.
      When a round has 4 dots it moves to the bottom of the mag.
      When all 7 have 4 dots they're shot and I replace with new.
      I avoid any risk of set back and replace carry rounds about once a year.
      If a sign could stop evil….They’d make holsters for them!!

        Good system. I do something similar. When I eject the chambered round I put it the ammo box nose-up in place of the new round I am loading. I just use it for range ammunition after that.

          The only time I rotate my ammo is when I spin the cylinder of my revolver when I'm playing Russian Roulette. Otherwise, I leave that ammo alone. It's not bothering anyone.
          Never trust anyone who doesn't trust you to own a gun.
