Due to circumstances I couldn't control, I had to move a large amount of my ammo to an unheated building where nighttime temps dip into the teens and twentys. I read the Ammo Oracle and it sounds like this won't be a problem in and of itself, but that I really need to avoid condensation when I move it back into the house. Anyone have suggestions for this? Dessicant packs? Goldenrod..? |

Is the ammo in question in cans or the original boxes. If in sealed cans, no problem, if in boxes, then yes, you will definately have condensation on the brass. I'd recommend putting it in an area where it can warm up and dry with some air movement. Before putting it anywhere where moisture can't evaporate, let it sit for a few days, maybe run a fan on low speed blowing air on the boxes will help dry it more completely. This is one reason sealed cans are really nice, it prevents a large amount of ammo from beginning to corrode IF it is kept for long term storage. The worst thing you can do is seal it up airtight while it is still damp. |
