Ammo cans are great....I run into problems with extreme temp changes when I travel to SC and back. My trailer can be 130 degrees inside, then cools as I drive into nighttime, then hot again in the sun. Same on way home...ammo is ice cold then ends up hot during the drive. These are ten hour trips each way, causes all kinds of problems with condensation.

Yup, humidity sucks. Mine are in ammo cans with desicants in and out of the cans in a climate controlled room. I'm not taking any chances.

Especially if ya store long term. I mean....range ammo is gone and forgotten, but if ya keep inventory it's a different ballgame. I still have 9mm in white boxes marked $4.99, not even tarnished. Shoots like sh*t, smells like sh*t when ya shoot it, but it's shiny.
