I just store my loaded ammo in metal ammo cans lined in duct tape. The metal on the inside was scratching the shite out of the cases.

I shoot pretty often and haven't put any ammo into long term storage so I haven't needed to worry about moisture or anything. But I think in my next batch of loads I may do some SHTF ammo. I really like the food saver bag idea.

If my goal was very long term ammo storage, I would keep it in vacuum bags with dessicant and repack every 10 years or so.

I'm not sure about the duct tape thing. It may not get along with brass, but I don't know that for a fact. Just guessing.
