ammo storage

[ucfireman]

Do y'all store your ammo in a wood box, metal box or just on a shelf?
If in a box do y'all use the little desiccant moisture absorbers?
Anyone vacuum seal?

Just trying to have the ammo last as long as possible.
Mine is just on shelves and a little in a metal ammo can.

 

[tcward]

I use the Ammo Crate by MTM

 

[snuffy]

Most of mine are in metal ammo boxes.
The 250 round boxes of Agua 22,s I have buying comes in sealed bags. I like that.

 

[Jester896]

i think all of those questions are a yes around here

The key is climate control. Store your ammo inside where you live, and it will last.

Forever....

 

[Hillbilly stalker]

Vacuum packed.

I really need to organize my ammo, with some sort of storage method across the board, I have mil surp stuff in wooden crates, a bunch of ammo in GI metal ammo cans, a good bit in factory boxes, a lot still in the unopened cardboard boxes the 500rds and 1000rds come in, stuff I've reloaded in plastic mtm boxes, at some point I'll vacuum seal some of it, some of the mil surp I've had for 30+yrs, and a good bit of it was made 10 or 20yrs before I bought it.

I wish I had some ammo to store......

 

[Railroader]

I wish I had some ammo to store......

I wish i had some guns to put ammo in....boating accident and all....

 

[Ruger#3]

Vacuum packed.

Dang HS, hadn’t thought of this, I’m gonna be shrink wrapping. I have a dehumidifier and put canisters of crystals that gather moisture in my cabinets. You can buy the crystals cheap as an additive for cat litter.

Midway and Brownells check Dub for stock.

50 cal ammo cans in a humidity and temp controlled room.

The stash is stored in mil surplus ammo cans and OG spam cans in the closet of my man cave. The "ready ammo" is stacked on top of the safe.

16 loaded 30 round mags are kept in a MTM Box, next to said safe just in case things get sporty.

 

[frankwright]

Yes, I reload most of my ammo and it goes in a ziplok baggie in lots of 100 or 150.
Those go into metal ammo cans stored in a temp controlled room.
I like to do 100 round bags as one time the body of my powder measure cracked and it was throwing the charges a little light. I knew exactly which 50 or 100 I had loaded and was able to watch the ammo closely at the range.

 

[Milkman]

One side of my safe is shelving. I keep it there.

 

[bilgerat]

I bought a 14 gun safe just for pistols and ammo, I added shelves where the long gun pert was and installed led lights and a golden rod for humidity control. I wish Id bought a bigger one cause it about full now

I have a climate controlled storage unit where I keep my bulk ammo and supplies and in and the 42 years my Daddy served in the military, I got more than a few of Uncle Sam's ammo cans.

And.. A lot of stuff is in zip bags inside the cans or whatever container.

Best thing would be to vacuum seal and put in a strong container.

I ain't there yet.

 

[Jester896]

I have seen what loaded ammo does inside a safe when it gets hot...
I don't keep mine there

 

[Pig Predator]

Ain't no way I'd keep my bulk ammo in a storage unit. Climate controlled or not. Unless, I owned and lived in said storage unit.
