After 40 years of stockpiling ammo, I can say leave them in the box or don’t. It doesn’t matter as long as the environment they are stored in is consistent and not humid or too hot. Ammo lasts a surprisingly long time. I’ve had ammo from the late 80’s to early 90’s that worked just last week. Of course cheaper stuff may corrode but , feel free to store them as they come in their original boxes or cans.

I have fired 100-year-old ammunition with good results. I have also seen ammunition become corroded and useless in a few months because the quartermaster stored it in cruiser trunks or in the basement of a police department. Your storage method will determine the shelf life of your ammo. When choosing an ammo storage location, shoot for dark, dry and cool - not cold. A closet inside a home is ideal. I would, however, avoid extremes such as basement storage or storing ammo in the attic. Normal fluctuations in household temperatures are OK. Heat itself isn’t that destructive, but fluctuations may cause humidity and condensation. Think about when glasses or cameras fog up going from an air-conditioned home to a hot backyard. You don’t want your ammunition supply to be subjected to these highs and lows. Moisture will attack gun powder. Also, don’t store ammo near solvents and cleaning compounds! Store Ammo Somewhere Dry and Cool In my experience, far more failures to fire result from powder contamination than primer failure. In some instances, changes in temperature or humidity can cause the cartridge case to corrode. This is dangerous, as corrosion can cause a loss of integrity. Some lead bullet loads (and some jacketed loads) feature a lubricant in grease grooves on the bullet. This grease will melt out of the grooves into the powder if the ammunition becomes too hot.

They're in air tight, waterproof containers. Have also seen ammo carried in boxed for several decades with no issues. The cardboard will never have a higher humidity rating than the air around it unless there is some kind of water being sprayed on or soaked into it. Have seen ammo not in boxes corrode while ammo in boxed inches away remain almost new looking after several years too. (from oxidizing lead, copper and brass). We use things to control humidity in out safe though... and of course, our ammo boxed are water proof like these. I'm not sure if it would be different in just regular open air, except that I don't think the cardboard would ever be more "wet" than the air around it.

24yr retired Navy Chief Gunners Mate here. Small Arms Instructor, Crew Served Weapons Instructor (machine guns) and Ammunition Administrator. ALL pistol and rifle ammunition were stored in ammo cans in their cardboard boxes in a wooden crate if a full crate. The exception would be ammunition that comes in stripper clips. Those can be either in open ended cardboard boxes or in fabric bandoleer pouches inside the ammo cans. Belted ammunition like .50cal, 5.56 and 7.62mm is stored without any cardboard. boxes. They come flat staggered in the ammo can with a flat piece of cardboard between each row. We never had loose ammunition in ammo cans. The ammunition I talked about comes that way from the manufacturer. Hope that helps.

I keep mines stored in the box in case there’s a manufacturer error that way I can identify the box it came in and not use any of the ammo. Possibly trade it in for a new box at your dealer. It’s better to be organized. But I also keep my magazines loaded in a storage box with a few desiccants to keep the moisture out. I believe as long as you’re doing that your ammunition will be fine.

The rubber gaskets on surplus USGI cans can be revived with silicone spray lube. They plump back up with a good wet coat absorbed into them over night. Just use a q-tip soaked in lube to clean the dirt off and leave a decent puddle all over the gasket without having to spray all over the lid. I'd also recommend cleaning the entire can and then appling a very light coat of oil over all the metal. Doing this has made my surplus cans last 20 years so far without a problem. Plastic boxes tend to flex the lid and lose the seal when lifted while full. You should also check to see how the handle is put into the lid of plastic boxes. Many of them I've seen go through the lid making the seal pointless for stopping moisture infiltration over time. I learned this from using some as storage on my boat. The tools inside them corroded like crazy.

Leave them in the box because it will absorb some of the moisture. I know this is a little off subject but when I store my motorcycle during off season in order to keep it pristine, I put a cardboard underneath it and cover it with a cotton bed sheet and then a water resistant tarp. This will prevent a lot of moisture from causing the seat and plastics to crack or get brittle. Back to ammo. If you can put in a couple of those moisture resistant packets you get when you buy a new set of shoes or buy some.

From experience, cardboard wicks moisture over time, and not only do the shell casings oxidize but they also get stuck to the cardboard. It may or may not wick moisture in the can… I guess it depends on your can and the environment. Personally I wouldn’t keep it in the cardboard if you think it will be in there several years. Probably a year or two is fine. Also as others have said you fit significantly more in the can if it’s not in cardboard.

Keeping in cardboard with silica gel packets is what i found to work best. I could see how just carboard would sort of take the place of the silica gel and trap moisture. But the boxes are good so that if dirt, debris, or water spills into your can, most of the laminated carboard will do a good job of keeping them ammo dry and clean till you figure out what to do.

You can do either. If you aren’t gonna shoot it for the next 5 years or so I say just leave it as is. If you plan on using it before then, you can consider emptying them out of the cardboard packaging. You can fit considerably more ammo inside your can this way and I always just do this unless I have different brands of ammo or grains for example. Mostly I buy a cans worth of ammo every time I shop anyway. Like if I have a dud, I know where it came from. People make an enormous deal out of something so small, because if this seriously bothers you, you can put a cutout piece of one of the ammo boxes inside the can. You don’t need to know the exact box that went wrong, as much as the exact batch, that was wrong. Also, just me personally, im not storing away ammo for when I’m like 50 , so I use it this way because I needed quantity when it comes to my ammo boxes. You can totally keep it this way long term for an emergency though. It’s gonna work great either way, to be honest.

It keeps the ammunition safer in the boxes with the plastic packaging inside that surrounds them. It keeps the ammo safer and it protects it so it is not shaking around in the box when you transport it so your rounds won’t be defective and will be accurate, especially for a emergency long-time use container. People who reload their own rounds for accuracy and just for fun to learn and see how adjusting your round can make it way more accurate and perfect for your rifle know this. Would definitely recommend keeping them all packaged until use especially since they’ll probably be in there for awhile. 👍🏼

Those little silica packets don’t last that long really. I bought a bunch of tiny color indicating packets off Amazon. They turn from blue(dry) to pink(fully moisturized). I put multiple in every ammo can. They turned pink within a month but you can re-dry them in microwave or oven. So, I then got some big Hornady Snap Safe plug in dehumidifiers and keep them in the same space with all of my ammo cans as well. You can’t always keep all moisture out though. I’ve been told as long as its kept in climate controlled conditions, no extremes in temperatures and humidity, than it will last a very long time.

Yup. Just to adsorb the water molecules that are in the air. If the ammo is kept in humidity controlled enviroments it should be okay as long as the chemical primer and propellant remain stable. Which is nearly indefinite for modern ammo. So the silica gel packets are dessicants. Inedible but inert otherwise. Passively making hydrated silica crystals. If one of those packets gets soaked in water and then left to dry, there will be telltales like stains but the silica gel bags found in so many products are useful and I keep a jar of them. Put em in with a laptop in storage. Anything that doesnt like water. Cardboard is a fine way to store this stuff
