keep your powder dry

[OLD CHIEF]

I had made up sharps rounds for the Eva shoot, but then could not go. In the past I have not had a lot of luck storing the paper cartridges for extended periods in my unheated work area.

This winter I took an old cooler that sealed well, put my made up rounds and some open powder in it along with a open container of damp-rid. I checked them last week and they look and feel great. The damp-rid only cost a couple of bucks and it looks like I will be able to reuse it a couple of times. Green

Sounds like a good solution. I use GI .50 cal ammo cans. Got three years of ammo loaded and stored right now;but who's counting?!

[Muley Gil]

10-4 on the ammo cans!

I have some .58 rounds, in the old cardboard tubes, that my dad and I loaded back in the '70s and they still fire fine.

Rice is also a great de humidifier, it does work better in a .50 cal ammo can though.
