So I got my hands on some expired portra 400vc and I'm excited to shoot it but the rolls expired in 2002 and 2003 and I'm not sure exactly the proper way to expose them. I've heard a rule that says one stop for every 10 years so should I shoot it at 200 or perhaps 160 because its been a bit longer then 10 years? If I do give the film an extra stop or so of light do I tell them to pull the film when they develop it or just dev it like normal c41?

how was the storage? if they were cold stored, you wont see any problem at all.
give it more light because well fed portra behaves beautifully (half a stop).
develop as you would develop a fresh roll.

Good thing there isn't a dedicated thread for these questions. And thanks for knocking off another thread from the board.

some of the rolls were cold stored but the rest were just described as not being stored in extreme temperature

To be fair, there's usually 4 Sony vs Fuji or other brand wars thread on the board at all times, if not a solid 10 threads dedicated to stupid questions or requests.
If a photo thread was bumped off, the OP should have bumped it for more feedback or taken better shots.

If you have multiple rolls I would bracket some shots on the first one to get an idea for the optimal exposure.
I would shoot Portra 400 at EI 250 any way. So film that old, even if cold stored, I might try 160. But then again you might be just fine at 400 if it was frozen.
