NEVER Leave Ammo In Cardboard

Leave in box because of lot numbers and if anything is wrong you'll be able to segregate

Leave your boxed ammo outside with dry / low humidity then transfer them into seal ammo can… with silica packs

Doesn’t matter. In the ammo cans they’re going to stay dry so do what you like better personally.

That's a lot of ammo. I only have 1 caliber... 22 LR. and I only have about 100 rounds.................

Saw a brownells vid where they stored like this.saw another where it was left in the box for id purpose.good point,what if theres a recall and you dumped 3 different but similar ammo in the can.theres a job sorting that out.

🤔If you plan on leaving it in there 200 years or more take it out of the cardboard.

ammo in carboard box, with silica gel under, that’s how I store mine, been doing it for years and never had any problems

Keep in the box. Put maxipad or grocery store food grade moisture absorbers .wrap in the brown paper they send with your ammo order! That is what is is for.. most people toss it! Wrap your ammo box with the moisture absorber and then right what it is on paper. 9mm +P or whatever you have. Label them witj color like mags. If its is regular, defense, body droppers like Liam defense rounds 😊 tickle tickle

Should I place a desiccant bag in an ammo box?

The cardboard can only help unless it gets wet. Definitely take it out then.

Leave them in the cardboard boxes

Ask the ATF !!!!

Leave them in the box

Store them in fresh milk.

Leave in the box.

True 5.56 has a sealed neck and primer. It doesn't matter really.

Why would you say "NEVER leave ammo in the cardboard" if you're the one asking the question? Clickbait much?

If you dump them out good luck finding the correct lot number if there’s a recall on any of them. Manufacturers recall ammo based on lot numbers which is on the box not on the ammo itself.

Leave them like that it’s better in the box protects it from getting damaged

loaded mags or at least in stripper clips

Damn he is low on ammo

As long as there are a few silica packs spread throughout the ammo and as long as the ammo can itself is water proof with a rubber gasket then it should be fine

In my opinion. Throw out the cardboard and get striper clips for your ammo. Load all your rounds into the striper clips. That way if you need that ammo loaded into your mags in a hurry you can easily reload 30 round mags.

Absolutely no problem leaving ammo stored in the original cardboard containers. The military has stored ammo and cardboard boxes in metal seal cans for decades with no problem.

Cardboard pulls all the moisture out.

I was Air Force munitions specialist. Ammo is designed to be stored in original manufacturers packaging unless that packaging becomes damaged or otherwise unservicable. Stored in ammo cans with good seals it should be just fine in the cardboard package.

I leave mines in the box store in a cool place, gotta keep track of the lot number in case the ammo are bad

Keep them in the box, this way you will know the batch numbers if anything goes wrong

Any opinions about plastic versus metal ammo cans?

whytf are you asking? do you what you want...wtf.

Why would you title the video that if youre asking the question. You’re a dumbass

Dosent matter when its that nasty cheap ass ammo. Throw that shit in the dirt, winchester is the worse ammo ever. This idiot has a whole box of it

Leave them in the cardboard box

just dnt open it every other day. leave it in the carboard. thank me after shtf.😅

My nipples just got hard

Makes no difference unless it's steel ammo.

If you are using plastic boxes with gaskets it’s ok to dump the ammo but my knowledge on dissimilar metals tells me not to dump the ammo in a metal can keep it in the boxes.

Long term, leave in boxes, emergency supply use magazines

I found old ammo in a house that was abandoned for many many years in Canadian climate and it is still like brand new leave in the box it will stay fresh way way way longer

The silica gel in there let's you know they will be fine in the boxes. Have had ammo in cardboard boxes ford bout 6 years without silica gel pack and it's still good

Stripper clips with the adapter for loading the mags. And have a bunch of good quality mags that have anti tilt followers and load them up. Then put them back in the ammo can. I have a couple mags that were left loaded for almost 7 years that were just fine and they functioned just fine when I used them.

Id say it depends where the ammo can will be stored at because its somewhat the same ordeal with a gun safe right by needing a dehumidifier.. so just be open minded about that the only concern id see with it is if in a humid climate area that eventually if you dont check it and the cardboard absorbs the moisture to the point its fully soaked and wet but again then how long were for something like that to happen and do you ever check in your ammo cans!

Id say your golden brotha for extra insurance throw one of the little moisture absorbent silica gel packets in it too

Buy Australian Ammo for long term storage. Waterproof 5 round packs. Premium smokeless and temp stable gunpowder.

Never dump them out the mini cardboard that’s the way they’re stored in the military bunkers

Dump them. Get more in the can.

Leave in cardboard and place moisture absorbed packages

I keep mines inside the cardboard box

Marine Corps, say no more. Appreciate you Josh.

Take it off and throw in some silica gel packs

It’s easier to count what you have left in there if it’s in boxes but it’s easier to use at the range if it’s loose so I guess which ever one is more important to you
