Ammo Storage

[hotround]

I am keeping my ammo in good condition ammo cans such as .30 and .50 CAL sealable cans. I want to put some desicant like Silica Gel in each can. Suggestions on how much desicant per can??

Why?

The little pack simply absorb moisture already in the can. If the pack is against the brass it could do what you are attempting to avoid, which is cause corrosion.

I've stored ammo in cans for decades...

Never once had any issues. It's such a small space that it's really a waste of $$

Remember it's a sealed container...moisture has no way in and no way out....

You can check on line, there are tables that tell you how many units per square inch of enclosed space. hogbody74

Just pull one out of your next delivered package or shoe box.
I toss one in an ammo can now and again. Just because. I wouldn't loose sleep over not having one in there.
