Storage of shot, be aware

[Bubba Yugga]

I've had my shot, still in the canvas bags it came in under my reloading bench on the concrete floor for many years.
Well, the other day, I looked down to see a fan of shot creeping out from one of the bags. Crap! the canvas bags were rotting.
Thankfully, the three rotten bags were all 7 1/2 shot, and the #6 shot bag was OK, so they didn't mix.

I've transferred them all to coffee cans for now. Tiny lead shot is a PIA rolling around on the floor.

Be aware!

Well, I just read your post and got to thinking.
I have a bag of shot sitting on my concrete garage floor for the last few years.
I went out today and checked it out.
Luckily, the canvas is still good, but I decided to transfer the shot to something a bit safer.
I filled 3 plastic one pound powder cans to 8lb 6oz each and relabeled them accordingly.
Should be safe till my estate is liquidated...
