Do you guys vacuum seal your ammo reserves?

You want me to vacuum seal two safes worth of ammo?

Military Surplus ammo cans are the correct answer here.

Makes me wonder if they put a desiccant in vacuum bag too with the ammo. Otherwise all you're doing is sealing the moisture IN with the ammo from the relative humidity when you sealed it. So effectively he's created a dust barrier it appears.

Most everything lately has been pre package in baggys.

No I don’t vac seal thank god I have to much and I have shot ammo that I’m pretty sure was 30+ yrs old and it functions fine

all mine's in either the house with AC, or garage in a safe or boxes with desiccant pouches.

I vacuum seal my yetis after every use. Its all about how you take care of your equipment.

I find this completely idiotic, but I tend to shoot the ammo I buy, not store it long term for internet points.

I've picked up shotgun shells that have been rolling around the back seat of my truck for 5-6 years and shot them just fine. There may be a case where vacuum sealing is necessary, but modern ammunition stored in a climate controlled home should last longer than the person that purchased it.

I have shot ammo from the world wars that was not sealed and looked to be stored in areas without climate control that worked just fine. We tested ammo after the 2016 floods that was under water for who knows how long and it still shot off at rates above 90%. Nobody has time for this BS. I also have more ammo cans than I could every practically use... but I also am working on my kids ammo collections... I don't even bother to break cases down into cans anymore, its fine.

I just don’t see the point.

I first in first out everything I shoot. I don’t see me ever having ammo much older than 2 or 3 years.

Of course I don’t go nuts and buy thousands of rounds either.

It's dumb. It will work or not based only upon the humidity in the place you unseal them. Doesn't matter if you kept them dry for years, you will draw the ambient air moisture into whatever areas pressure equalizes into. And it's a fast transfer, much quicker than any seepage over time. I gotta think that's worse.
