ammo info question

Jim, there are lots of ways to protect ammo.

Buy old US (or I assume Canadian) ammo cans. These seal fairly well, keeping out moisture and can be locked by attaching a hasp to the side. Some of the ammo cans also have rubber seals that would work even better.

You can also buy survivalist containers that are completely water-proof.

With the heat, then cold, then heat of being in a shed, I would expect ammo to not last as long, but easily should be fine for a few years to longer. My ammo is out in the wood shop, unheated / cooled and I am not worried about it.
