Any thoughts on using an ammo can with a rubber gasket (with some desiccant packs inside) to store ammo in a humid climate?
Isn't that what they were made for? Make sure the gasket is in good shape.
Mind the heat, as that can break down the propellant prematurely.
It's a good idea to not stow the GI metal cans on bare concrete, as they seem to "wick up" moisture from the concrete and rust out (if slowly).storing them on the floor

Ammo cans are WON-DER-FUL! I wash, thoroughly dry, closely inspect the cans and treat the rubber gaskets prior to use. And, yes, out of habit, I always include a desiccant packet.Any thoughts on using an ammo can with a rubber gasket (with some desiccant packs inside) to store ammo in a humid climate?

It’s ok. My house has a concrete slab that is 8 inches or thicker.I think I heard that floor groan..
Those 20 round boxes were going for $40plus each last time I saw any (which was around three years' ago).I keep ammo in mil-surp ammo cans, like they came from the factory. The 'spam can' ammo can be a pain to open and impossible to reseal.
This may sound silly but isn't the whole point of ammo cans is to store ammo? I guess I don't understand the original question.
