Ammunition storage

[colorado_handgunner]

Two weeks ago I went through my ammunition and dumped the cartridges from boxes into ziplock bags. I did keep a box top in each bag for identification purposes, not mixing any calibers or brands. I live in a very humid climate in the deep south, and wanted to seal the ammo from the moisture. I also live in an apartment, and needed to cut down on the space useage.

In hindsight I realized I now don't have the serial number of any of the batches. Is there a reason in the future that I might need it, do you think? Thanks.

I would put ZERO concern about it. Can only think that if you had a serious Kaboom and ruined your gun or caused harm you may need the batch number. Even then... not sure what real good it would do.

I wouldn't give it a second thought.

The only addition I would make is to put a desicant pack in the zip locks. If you didn't take the moisture out, you're sealing it in with the ammo.

There are bags specifically made for storage if you're feeling like spending some money company called Zero Corrosion.

I think you'll be good. I always just throw mine in ammo cd ans with good seals and I throw a few silca packs in there.

The only reason you would need a batch number is in the event of a ammo recall.

Thanks guys. And good suggestion on the desicant packs.

Buy a GI surplus .50 Cal ammo can and put the bags in it.
Airtight lid.

And you won't have ammo popping all over the place if the apartment burns down.

I have been using toolboxes for storage. Easy to carry and doesn't advertise the contents. Also lockable.
