I use the Army Surplus cans because I got them cheap, they work fine and stack nice.Should steps be taken to prevent moisture from your ammo storage ?
Are you concerned about moisture ?
Are the "Army Surplus" cans a good way to store ?
Thanks..
Put it this way - I'd buy it from you.I also use a .50 caliber ammo can with disacant pack, but my question is; how long will ammo store and still go bang? I have some 9mm ammo that is over 8 years old. Think it is still good?
See my last response.I found some ammo I purchased 12 years ago, it's been in a safe with desicant packs in there with them. There isn't anything that I can see is wrong with them, I was thinking of taking them to the range and using them. They should be okay, right?
Ammo lasts a loooooong time. I had some 22 lr's rattling around in a drawer, and they've been there at least thirty years. I took 'em out last summer just to get rid of them, and they all went bang just fine. 8 years isn't very old for ammo if it was stored properly. Yes - I think it's still good.I also use a .50 caliber ammo can with disacant pack, but my question is; how long will ammo store and still go bang? I have some 9mm ammo that is over 8 years old.

If you can fit ammo in your safe then you do not have enough weapons!So can anyone tell me if i buy ammo and leave it in the box and keep them in my safe (were i also keep my gun) a digital key safe is tgat a good place to store my ammo?
And if you can fit all of your ammo in the safe, you do not have enough ammo. I am guilty of that. But I am working on that.If you can fit ammo in your safe then you do not have enough weapons!
