Description

0:00 The storage mistake and the free trick 1:50 Why ammunition must stay off the floor 2:27 How to inspect a cartridge 5:59 Desiccant packs and the copper penny 7:42 Why oil can ruin loaded ammunition 10:40 The right room and avoiding setback 13:42 Deep storage, flooding, and disposal 18:42 The dry-air storage trick I explain why the coolest spot in your house can be the worst place to store ammunition, and how humidity, temperature swings, and concrete floors damage cartridges. I show how I inspect brass, primers, and bullets, choose a sealed metal ammo can, use a desiccant pack and copper penny, and keep oil and solvents away from loaded ammunition. I also cover safe storage locations, loaded-magazine setback, deep storage, floodwater, and the free dry-air trick my granddaddy used to seal ammo cans for years.
