Wondering how to keep your ammunition safe and reliable? North Texas humidity and extreme temperature swings can easily ruin your ammunition. Poor storage quickly leads to frustrating misfires and dangerous malfunctions. You must store your rounds properly to guarantee reliable performance when you need it most.

Control the Climate

Heat and moisture destroy gunpowder and primers over time. Store your ammunition in a cool, dark, and dry place inside your home. Avoid uninsulated garages, attics, or damp storage sheds where temperatures fluctuate wildly throughout the year.

Block Out Moisture

Moisture serves as the biggest enemy of reliable ammunition. Pack your rounds inside airtight metal or plastic ammo cans equipped with strong rubber seals. Toss a few desiccant silica gel packets into every container to absorb any trapped humidity. Check these moisture-absorbing packets regularly and replace them when they change color.

Organize for Safety

Keep your stored ammunition locked away from unauthorized users and completely separate from your firearms. Label your containers clearly by caliber and purchase date so you always shoot your oldest inventory first.
