AMMO STORAGE (SOLVED)

[sumtingwong650]

I tried to use the SEARCH feature but it didn't provide results for storing brass and steel cased ammunition in the same containers.

So here goes; Would it be safe to store brass and steel cased ammunition in the same metal container with silica packs inside, to prevent some moisture for long term storage or would I need to separate them in different containers? I just have a mix of YUGO SURP and some TULAMMO in the same caliber and have ran out of room....

I'd say you're GTG, i've never heard anything negative about it.

Keep them in separate plastic bags (or even thick paper or envelopes.)

There is always the danger of galvanic corrosion if they touch each other, esp in humidity.

Short term it is fine, with your silica packs, but definitely not for long-term storage.

dammit.... I should've known that.... galvanic corrosion is definitely a possibility. Thank you for slapping the knowledge back in my head. I just did exactly as suggested, separated them.

Nope, separate them. It'll start turning greenish and end up getting corroded. It does it all the time. I see it at work, when the metals starts to show corrosion in areas where 2 different metals are being used.

There's sumting wong with this thread.
I smell something fishy, Makes me think OP might have more then one user name

Did God do it?

Why did God allow galvanic corrosion?

Unfortunately I only have this user name. 😔 I felt so incompetent though for not even thinking about galvanic corrosion and I deal with it at work.

Because he wanted the weaker metals to die.
