asmurff Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 As some of you know I'm new to reloading pistol ammo and I have a question; How do you store your reloaded ammo long term? Are dry boxes enough or do you need to hermetically seal the ammo and if so how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 My brother reloads on a nearly professional level, he adds fine sawdust to each ammo can to absorb moisture. While i am sure it's not the best option, and certainly not the most technologically advanced; some of his ammo is decades old and still performs well.

techmike Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Uncooked rice is a great moisture absorbent. I also use a primer sealant. TM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
