Re: Battle Packs - the Poor Man's Version
MEN and DAG German surplus 7.62 NATO of various lots from the 1980's and 1990's had this issue with sealed battlepacks and acidic cardboard or cardboard loaded with too much moisture on packing. There had been issues with Eastern Bloc ammo from time to time too. Also some South African battle packs have had this issue.

Re: Battle Packs - the Poor Man's Version
If you buy the large roll you can cut it to a size that works best for what you want to seal up.
I think I made some custom bags in the past. The most recent ones were placed into the pre-made quart size bags. (the Fed XM193/Winchester above as well as the 22LR and 30-30 are in quart size bags for example)
The quart size worked fine for my purpose as I'm not looking to seal up large quantities - just small, handy amounts that are easily portable/packable, and lightweight.I called to check my ZIP CODE!....DY-NO-MITE!!!

Re: Battle Packs - the Poor Man's Version
why not load the ammo up in some mags and vacuum seal them together for the ar/ak and a glock or two?

Like the way you labeled see through plastic
Vacuum sealing is good but would also just do loose.

Re: Battle Packs - the Poor Man's Version
I already mentioned that I was considering doing that, but I wouldn't seal more than one type together. It would be mostly pointless to grab a bag with an AK AND an AR mag if I were only taking an AK with me.
Actually, I've only packed one handgun ammo thus far and will remedy that soon. In reality, it's more likely that any of us would find a handgun to be more practical in an emergency. It's sort of tough to blend in with a crowd with an AR15 slung over your back.
Boxes are nice because you can put in different types of rounds if you wish.

I'll keep the ammo cans tight and the dehumidifiers on!
