[QUOTE="Kid Glock, post: 4135158, member: 189"] [I]Not an expert but have shot fair amount years ago of foreign mil-surp left over from WW2 and most was sure-fire. Probably stored in warehouses but doubt it had been under ideal atmospheric conditions??? Some were pretty covered with verdigris, tarnish, etc. Seems like I had read somewhere that an "expert" said that moisture and extreme temperature variations was harder on cased ammo regardless of caliber. Once upon a time, I took a lesson from a previous life, where an old dead fridge was used with a small wattage incandescent lightbulb to store welding rods. Temp and humidity was very dry and stable. With ammo today, it might work best with a large chest type freezer and stack it in best you can depending on amount??? Then again, may not have room for the fridge. ETA: Should mention that the airtight interior of a fridge/freezer combined with light bulb works better for welding rods and ammo than guns, especially with wooden stocks as they can dry out too much and shrink or crack, etc. Better to use dehi rods or desiccant cans.[/I] [/QUOTE]
