Re: Ammo Storage
Maybe my assumption is incorrect, but if ammo were stored in a can in a very low humidity environment, I suspect a few packs in the can would be sufficient to absorb what small amount of moisture might be present. An airtight can would not let in any further moisture, right?

Re: Ammo Storage
I found primers on my basement floor that have been there for well over 5 years, they still worked.
I dumped a bunch of 50cal primers in soapy water for about a week. When they dried out, I smacked one
with a hammer. It went BOOM.FJB

Re: Ammo Storage
26 years ago when I chose my lot in the new subdivision, I had my choice and picked one that appeared to have good drainage, a good distance away from the wetlands to the south.
My basement is like a desert, so all my boolits are stored there.

Re: Ammo Storage
Ive got some 25acp left I bought in the mid 80s stored in a plastic "DRY" box and they still go bang.. Forgot about a 20round mag of 5.56 & 2 boxes of 410 sitting in a cardboard box with some junk in my basement for over 20 years shot them this year all were fine. the 410 shells were looking a little green as the boxes got real wet.. but fired.
With a little care I don't see you having much,if any issue with AMMO..I'll probably Just store my ammo in cans in the basement and keep the firearms upstairs for peace of mind .
