Ammunition is an investment, and like any investment, it needs to be protected. Improper storage can lead to corrosion, misfires, and decreased performance. Here’s how to ensure your ammo stays safe and reliable.
Storage Tips:
1. Cool, Dry Environment: Avoid humid or hot areas. Moisture is the enemy of gunpowder and primers. Store your ammo in a climate-controlled space.
2. Use Airtight Containers: Ammo cans with rubber seals are ideal. They protect against moisture and dust.
3. Label and Rotate Stock: Use the oldest ammo first. Label by purchase date to ensure proper use.
4. Keep Away from Chemicals: Household cleaning supplies can corrode casings if stored nearby.
5. Lock It Up: Keep ammo in a locked cabinet or safe, away from unauthorized users—especially children.
6. Avoid Frequent Handling: Oils from your skin can accelerate corrosion on brass or steel casings.
