I have been keeping it in the garage for 25 years and don’t plan on changing. It's ammo as long as it stays dry the heat is not going to hurt it. Where do you thing they keep in in the Middle East? Up a camels butt?
They are still using ammo from back in the 40"s.

Heat and humidity are what shorten the lifespan of ammo. Humidity levels in the Middle East generally are very low, so heat alone won't be as big an issue. Here in OK, we all know how humid it gets.
As for the justification that they're still using ammo from back in the 40's - so? Does that mean all ammo will be as viable after long-term storage in a warm and humid environment?
If you don't have room for the ammo inside the house, then it becomes a moot point. However, if you do have the means to store ammo indoors, why not do that and remove the heat/humidity factor from the equation?
To each ther own... I still think it's kinda goofie!

I have a locking cabinet in the garage with the stuff I use most often in it, the other stuff I store in USGI ammo cans in my shop. Been doing that for several years and never had any problems with the ammo. Blitzfike
