The main priority is to (if possible) make sure the ammunition is in an airtight bin or bag, and periodically check it to ensure moisture hasn&#8217;t found its way into the container and ammunition. Let&#8217;s go over some specifics.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6564\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6564\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/DSC7721_web.jpg\" alt=\"2,000 round ammo can of 9mm Blazer Brass 115 gr.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/DSC7721_web.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/DSC7721_web-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/DSC7721_web-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/DSC7721_web-610x343.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/DSC7721_web-627x353.jpg 627w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-6564\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">2,000 round ammo can of 9mm Blazer Brass 115 gr.<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>Keep Your Ammo Dry<\/h3>\n<p>Rain, humidity and cold can all quickly degrade the condition of the ammunition however, as long as you check on the ammo to make sure it&#8217;s not wet, you shouldn&#8217;t have any major issues.

The most important thing is to avoid large fluctuations or conditions that the ammunition is in (environmental and temperature). These shifts can cause variations in performance, and at the extremes, dangerous failures.<\/p>\n<h3>Storing Ammunition Too Hot<\/h3>\n<p>If you have your ammo stored in a location or environment that is too hot, you may degrade the powder stability, as well as reduce overall reliability. At prolonged exposure to excessive heat, there is also the potential for misfires. Hopefully, we can all see the greater damages and liability risks with that.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6555\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6555\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6555\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/DSC7592_web.jpg\" alt=\"Ammunition crates sitting in sunlight.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/DSC7592_web.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/DSC7592_web-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/DSC7592_web-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/DSC7592_web-610x343.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/DSC7592_web-627x353.jpg 627w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-6555\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Over time, sunlight can affect the quality and reliability of ammunition.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Note: Most manufactures state &#8220;too hot&#8221; to be at or greater than 150 degrees Fahrenheit. As long as you aren&#8217;t in the deserts of Arizona and New Mexico, or keeping your ammo right next to the fireplace you should be okay!<\/p>\n<p>Storing your ammo in a sealed container, away from direct sunlight is a great start to the storage game.<\/p>\n<h3>Storing Ammunition Too Cold (Below Freezing)<\/h3>\n<p>On the flip side of extremes, storing ammunition too cold will also cause a different slew of problems. Colder storage can still affect the powder (propellant) stability, which will have adverse results in performance down range. It will also reduce the primer sensitivity which is responsible for starting the explosive sequence. This is what happens when the bullet separates from the cartridge and is shot out of the barrel! This means you may have a bunch of rounds that go &#8220;click&#8221; instead of &#8220;bang.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6556\" style=\"width: 1510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6556\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6556\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Dented_Primer_556_web.jpg\" alt=\"Dented primer from misfired rusted 5.56x45 cartridge.\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Dented_Primer_556_web.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Dented_Primer_556_web-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Dented_Primer_556_web-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Dented_Primer_556_web-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Dented_Primer_556_web-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Dented_Primer_556_web-610x610.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Dented_Primer_556_web-1080x1080.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Dented_Primer_556_web-627x627.jpg 627w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Dented_Primer_556_web-440x440.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-6556\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A rusted 5.56&#215;45 cartridge with a dented primer from a failure to fire.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>That&#8217;s no good for anybody! While you may not be able to spot this effect with the eye, you will definitely notice the lack of rounds sent on target. It will be a sad and quiet ride home from the range.<\/p>\n<p>If you are located in a colder state or location, you might consider adding a form of insulation to your ammo container, or keeping your ammo stored inside a climate controlled area.<\/p>\n<h3>Storing Ammunition in Humid Areas<\/h3>\n<p>Keeping your ammunition in a humid environment is probably the worst of them all. Moisture can quickly find its way into the cartridges and will corrode each component of the round: Primer, casing, powder, and bullet. This can cause catastrophic failures and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/tap-rack-bang\/\">malfunctions.<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6557\" style=\"width: 1510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6557\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6557\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Rusted_Corroded_ammo_web.jpg\" alt=\"Rusted and corroded ammunition.\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Rusted_Corroded_ammo_web.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Rusted_Corroded_ammo_web-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Rusted_Corroded_ammo_web-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Rusted_Corroded_ammo_web-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Rusted_Corroded_ammo_web-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Rusted_Corroded_ammo_web-610x610.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Rusted_Corroded_ammo_web-1080x1080.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Rusted_Corroded_ammo_web-627x627.jpg 627w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Rusted_Corroded_ammo_web-440x440.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-6557\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Top) Varying stages of rusted ammunition.

Start by using your preferred airtight container of choice. I like using the metal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/cheap-ammo-cans\">M2A1 (.50 cal)<\/a> cans or plastic versions.<\/p>\n<p>I place a plastic bag liner into it to prevent any moisture from coming into contact with the ammunition, should the gasket on the can fail. Then I dump the loose rounds inside. After I have added all of the ammunition I want, I put the appropriate amount of desiccants or heavy duty silica packets mixed in with the ammo.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6560\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6560\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/DSC7625_web.jpg\" alt=\"2,000 rounds of 9mm in ammo can with desiccant packs.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/DSC7625_web.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/DSC7625_web-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/DSC7625_web-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/DSC7625_web-610x343.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/DSC7625_web-627x353.jpg 627w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-6560\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Desiccant packs keep moisture from accumulating inside storage containers.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Seal the bag as best as you can, and secure a label on the inside before closing. You can tape the front of one of the original boxes to the ceiling of the container so you remember the cartridge details. I also label the outside, but it can potentially wear out, which is why I have a label inside the can.<\/p>\n<p>I like to keep my ammo cans in a basement where it is cool and dry. One last moisture preventative I take is keeping the cans on a shelf, pallet or a sled. This way they are not sitting directly on the ground.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6559\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6559\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6559\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/DSC7631_web.jpg\" alt=\"Ammunition cans sitting on a metal shelf in a portable sled.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/DSC7631_web.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/DSC7631_web-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/DSC7631_web-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/DSC7631_web-610x343.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/DSC7631_web-627x353.jpg 627w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-6559\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ammo cans sitting on a shelf in a portable sled.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>If you store your ammo in this fashion, you can be sure to check on it at the end of each year for years to come with confidence that each cartridge is as good as new!<\/p>\n<h2>How to Store Ammo Short-term (One Year or Less)<\/h2>\n<p>For short-term storage (anything less than a couple of months to a year), the only thing you need to do is make sure to store your ammo away from the elements as much as possible.
