Ammo Storage

[DoubleTap Tactical]

Anyone see any issues with using one of those food sealers to package ammo for extended storage?

Check out this thread where this has been discussed.

It won't cause any problems, but it may be a waste of time and money. Storing it in an ammo can in the proverbial cool/dry place works fine (and you can throw in a dessicant pack and an O2 absorber if it makes you feel better).

Works for me.

I don't see any issues with it. I have done it for years without any side affects. If you don't melt through the plastic, you can link your packs together.

If you really want to do this (although I think it unnecessary), mylar bags and a $9.95 iron (with a teflon coated shoe, on the "wool" setting) will seal your ammo for 1/10th the cost of a FoodSaver. Push out as much air as possible, throw in an O2 absorber (or two) and seal it up. You won't need to pull a vacuum as the O2 absorber will do the work of removing the free oxygen.
