re: Do you guys vacuum seal your ammo reserves?

Military Surplus ammo cans are the correct answer here.

That's what I do.

I picked up a bunch of old cans in 'fair/poor' condition, they were just pretty dirty with a couple spots of rust here and there. The rubber seals were intact. I cleaned everything up good, got rid of the rust, painted a few. Let everything dry out in the sun. Hit the seals with silicone grease, a little dab rubbed over it (Shin Etsu is the best).

After everything was thoroughly dry, I just loaded the cans and label them, and started stacking. If you're worried about dessicant, just toss one from a pill bottle (they come in aspirin and vitamin bottles, etc)...

I wouldn't worry about vacuum sealing, you basically get that with a good box.
