I am wondering about how much I should worry about humidity when storing ammo. I have put together a pile of a few months' supply, and right now have it in the manufacturers cardboard boxes on a shelf in a (locked) shed. A mix of shotgun, .223 rifle, and .22 LR.
Living here in the Mid-Atlantic (Fairfax County, Virginia) it can get a little humid, aside from minor freezing in winter and pretty warm in the summer. (On the other hand, I have been stationed in both Germany and Louisiana, so I know that Virginia is by no means extreme.)
So ... what sorts of things should I do to counter humidity, considering this stuff will sit for a few months before it is all expended (and incrementally replaced)?
