Is a temp of + 7 celciuos ok for storeing ammo long term?

I have stored mine as low as minus 5.....no ill effects....as long as it's DRY....

It can be cold or hot, just try to keep the humidity down as best you can.

Try to keep it at a constant low humidity temperature

I've talked of lots of guys storing ammo in a garage or shed for decades and not having issues. Sealed in ammo cans so no humidity swings but temperatures ranging from -30'C to +30'C.

I've also heard stories about guys in Arizona or Texas having ammo get wonky after a few years stored in a hot shed or garage. But we'd be talking about regular daytime highs of +45'C

I see no issue with +7'C so long as you control humidity. Sealed ammo cans with good gaskets, not opened on a regular basis, add some desiccant packs for good measure. One guy I know throws oxygen absorbers in vacuum sealed bags with his ammo for long-term storage.
