Ammo Storage

[Ulath]

How long do you think this will store?
First I put 60 rounds of .223 in a ziploc along with 2 silica packets.

Since I don't have a vacume sealer yet I did it the red neck way with a straw removing all the air in them as I could. (Yeah I know its the best I could do with what I have.)

Then i packed them up into Ammo cans for storage.

Better than the box they came in...they'll probably outlive you with decent temp control....

As long as they're in a cool DRY place ,as Big Saw sed ,you're ammo will outlive you!!

Hopefully things don't fall apart soon. There is no cool dry place anywhere near the Texas gulf coast in the summer. Thank you for your imput. I need to buy a vacuum sealer but my needs list stretches off into the distance.

I have a lot of ammo loose in ammo cans,and it will store very well.Heck,I have ammo w/ a headstamp of 1947 and it all shoots fine.No issues at all,and this is com-bloc stuff too!!

[Ulath]

do you think .22 LR will store in this manner just as well under the same conditions?

With .22 I'd go ahead and include plenty of dessicant.....22 are not quite as "tight" - normally - as higher quality ammo....JMO, though...

Here's how I store most of mine.Ammo cans,spam cans,some loose in ammo cans,boxes in a construction-type lockable gang box.

Well at least I now know why the US is having an ammo shortage. It all went to Indiana!
