    If you have the space, find an old chest freezer on Craigslist. An upright works great, too. They're airtight, nondescript, can usually be locked, and will generally hold a lot of rounds.

    A 20lb bag of white rice in a burlap bag works well to keep moisture under control. .

      Their holiday sale prices are still about $40 higher than I got mine for.

        If your plamning on shooting it I wouldn't worry. If you're planning to store it long term the ammo cans would be a better option. I just keep my 9mm reloads in a 2gal bucket, in fact 2 and 5gal buckets would work fine for long term storage as well.

          Buy some ammo cans. Check craigslist. You just missed the sale at bass pro. The 50cal cans were $10 internet sale. I use blue painters tape far a label. Learn to buy ammo by the case.
          Been gone too long. It's been 15 to 20 years since i had to shelf my guns. Those early years sucked.
          I really miss the good old Pomona Gun Shows.

            Quality ammo cans with rubber seals.

            4 or 5 desiccant packs inside.

            Should last 20 - 30 years.

                Try Amazon

                I've used the MTM cans - excellent and often at great prices

                airtight
