For those of you who watch such things, where do you try to keep your humidity for ammo storage?

I picked up a humidity gauge at ChinaMart today and also have a dehumidifier for my ammo storage area. The gauge is reading OK at ~45% right now. I'll turn on the dehumidifier as soon as it stabilizes and see what happens. I'm thinking trying to keep it in the 'low' area as long as I am not running the DH all the time.

As a side note, I have stored ammo under some very harsh conditions for very long periods of time (10 yrs.+) with no adverse affects. So, am I getting carried away?

naw! not carried away too much.
some guys like to keep 40-50% rel. humidity

Me, I am lucky to keep 60 in my basement.

key to it all is the sealing of your ammo storage cans. good rubber seal
on Army ammo can will keep ammo good for longer than we'll be around!
