22 ammo storage

[daspurlock]

Got a good deal on cci blazer today, but I'm running out of room in my ammo locker to put them. They are bulk packed so I thought i would dump them in a ammo can and was wondering if I needed to do anything special to store them that way.

Maybe throw in a little desiccant.

I like to layer the bottom with a piece of cardboard. It cushions them when they get dumped in.

Thats how i store mine, I layerd the bottom with a few layers of paper towels.

How long can they be stored? Not that the be there long, but you never know. Was wondering if any knows a good place to get more cans and whats the going rate?

If stored properly (preferably dry, sealed, and reasonable temperatures) they will last for decades. People are firing WW2 ammo without issue.

Not sure about the best place for ammo cans, but there are always plenty at the Indy 1500 shows (next one in mid-January).

Ammo cans are air an water tight. If your going to store for any length of time i would put a small desiant bag in with the ammo. but other than that should stay good for many years to come.

Definately cushion the bottom with something. I always just leave mine in the original boxes.
