Ammo storage

[asmurff]

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?

[Mr. Jones]

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.

Also those small desicant pouches are commercially available.

Uncooked rice is a great moisture absorbent. I also use a primer sealant.

Hadn't though of the rice, even though I do put it in salt shakers.

[Mr. Jones]

Never thought of rice either, good idea.

Explains why many Asian have that "dry" sense of humor  ;D

Lord, I apologize.
