what are some reliable tips to store ammo for years?

You leave Stubby alone and don't be calling my prick a prick, thank you good sir.

You have no idea how many times a year the good ol' boy answer the same questions over and over again. Questions where the answers only lie a few key strokes away.

Have you discovered the search function yet. I'm sure you will find a few similar threads.

I want to know everything there is to know but there is a lot of info. Especially when your starting out. Just wish you could be a little more supportive instead if being a prick stubble. Shawn it's not the first time he's been like this either. I guess in life there is always mr know it alls out there. Stubble your just showing others that you have no class. If you know everything why even comment. Just go away.

Appreciate it Shawn.

There is a lot of bs on the internet and some truth. It's just easier to ask people that have been around so I don't waist time. Perhaps you guys are unemployed and have all the time in the world. I don't. That's why I simply ask. Some people have class some people don't. That simple.
 
Besides owning a gun is serious. If you slip up on one law you could be doing time. What's wrong with being sure or even going over some basics. Perhaps you might miss something or need a reminder too. Laws change too so it's always good to be up to date. Perhaps it's the people who think they know everything are the people who end up doing time. Karma is a batch.

Actually there are regulations in the Firearms Act that relate directly to ammunition, regulations that deal with storing ammunition with firearms, or having ammunition loaded into a firearm. Yes many courses are lacking, but if a person makes any effort to read up on the Firearms Act, it isn't difficult to learn the basic regulations. However many people only care about getting a PAL and could care less if they actually learn the regulations.

Just to be clear since we are all about being correct and all. There are zero regulations or laws in the firearms act about ammo. There are laws and regulations about how guns can be used/stored/handled around ammo.

None of which have anything to do with the ammo, but with the location and the condition of the gun.

Shawn. That's exactly why I ask the question. Stubble and others talking bs yet they don't even know and apparently they have been in the game long.

Thanks for clarifying a lot. Not just the ammo. Lol.

The location of the ammunition is obviously a factor, since you can have the firearm legally stored, and simply changing the location of the ammunition without changing the location of the firearm, can render the storage of the firearm illegal. The Firearms Act specifically mentions ammunition, so that makes ammunition relative to the Firearms Act.

You are wrong.
Section 24, Section 25

Then at the end the refer to SOR/98-209. Section 5 (1)(c), 6(c), 7(c), 9(d) ,etc. refers to the storage of firearms with/without ammunition

Kindest regards

This thread went from sharing effective storage techniques to the far too common rule and regulation pissing contest. Kinda spoils the reading of the thread...
 
Clean ammo can's with silica gel and humidity indicator card's on top of it all, inside the can. Tag the top with caliber and date sealed. Store in a cool place.
I have ammo I stored when I was 18-20. I'll be 49 soon
 
Cool and dry is all that is required. I just went through my father's estate, and there were still shotshells with paper hulls, and they shot just fine. The price tags on the Imperial hunting loads was under $3 which should give a person an idea of how old these shells are. These shells were just sitting unsealed on a cupboard with nothing to absorb moisture, and it didn't seem to effect them at all.
