So I typically keep all my ammo in the safe.
The safe doth runnith over so to speak nowadays. Should I transition my ammo out of the safe? How does ARF.COM store their excess? I am not a ARF pro, I only have a half dozen rifles and about 6k ammo. |

| I use these instead of the 50 cal cans. They stack easier, hold more, still airtight, and slide nicely under the bed or in a corner. |

I've got five sets of industrial shelves in the basement and garage basically filled with cases, crates and 30 and 50 cal cans, and some more spillover into closets and stacked into a corner of the garage. Keeping ammo in the safes has never even been a possibility.
Keeping your ammo in the safe, even if it fits, is probably not the best use of safe space - anyplace cool, dark and dry is fine. |

I am not a ARF pro, I only have a half dozen rifles and about 6k ammo. I keep the guns in a Liberty safe and the ammo in a lockable stack-on locker. Mainly because I am cheap, and don't want to buy a whole other safe just for ammo. The only ammo I keep in the safe are in loaded mags. This way I don't have to push 50 boxes of ammo out of the way if I need to grab something in a rush. |

This may be a dumb question.... If I keep my ammo, in cans, in a basement. Can the summer humidity ruin the ammo? I've never noticed any damage or anything but I know GD be smarterer than me sometimes Just store them properly and they will be fine, little pack of rechargeable dry packs and put them in a dry place they will be fine. As long as it is in cans that seal, nothing can really get to the ammo in the cans. |

Once you achieve total coverage she can simply walk atop them. |

50 cal cans.
12 cans for $140 grade 2 stay away form grade 3 they are mostly junk. https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B009UPKL2I/ref=dp_olp_used_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=used I ordered them form AmmoCanMan last year and all of them were in good usable condition. They used to be $119 for 12 grade 2 cans so they only went up $20. |

Most of my stuff is in 50 cal cans (handgun ammo is sometimes in 30 cal cans) I just assumed the recommendation would be to have them stored in a cabinet or small room with low humidity and lock.
I really haven't used much in the way of desiccant but maybe I need to. |
