This video provides a detailed guide on how to properly pack an ammo can for long-term storage and easy identification. It covers loading quantities, using colored tape and labels to denote caliber, grain, and quantity, and even suggests cutting off original box labels to include inside. The importance of adding silica packets to absorb moisture is emphasized for preservation. The presenter references military-style packing and WWII ammo cans, highlighting the longevity of properly stored ammunition. The video aims to equip viewers with practical skills for ammo management and preparedness.
Proper ammunition storage is crucial for longevity and safety. Maintaining a stable temperature between 68-72°F is ideal, as extreme heat (above 130°F) degrades powder and primers, while extreme cold only temporarily reduces power. Avoid touching ammo with bare hands to prevent corrosion. Hermetically sealed containers like Fiocchi 'Canned Heat' or military 'spam cans' are excellent for long-term storage, supplemented with silica gel packs and greased seals to combat moisture.
