I agree Fnuser. I think I'd rather not do the WD-40 routine and the drop of oil in the can at the end. Keep things dry and use some of those oxygen absorbers (why not a mylar bag) too. My opinion is, that the oily stuff can seep into the primers by vapor alone, in long term storage. If you ever noticed some of the surplus ammo packaging, even in cans, they wrap everything in paper. That's to ensure dryness. The paper absorbs any moisture there might be in the air when they seal the cans. It's old-school, but some of those surplus ammo cans are 40 years old or more and there's no rust or corrosion on the contents. Suz |

I kinda like your food storage can idea too. I have one of those can openers and I'm always trying to think of some way to utilize the cans. A lot of them have a nice coating on the inside and look like they'll last quite a while. Another type of can you can use is a gallon paint can. You can buy brand new with lids and real cheaply at a home improvement store. Anyway cheaper than a surplus ammo can and lighter weight too. You can bang the lid down and re-use it with careful handling of the lid. I made a nice wood-gas stove out of one. Suz |

I use G.I. ammo cans and empty large plastic coffee containers. The coffee containers hold a lot of ammo either loose or in boxes and they are free. Take care... Joe |
