The plastic cans work great for storing brass cases, that about it. As far as ammo storage, someone gave me a heavy duty cabinet that does the job.

I pulled it out to fix the foot, and put it back by myself with hand trucks. The next day I realized I'm not as young as I once was, lol. That sob is still heavy.
I use painters tape but some have duck tape.
"Zombie" ammo gets put in ammo cans,loose with desiccant packs inside the safe. Range ammo stays in original packaging, with desiccant packs inside ammo cans.

Sorry to resurrect a zombie, but this thread shows up on a google search for "How to store ammo".
Me and the kids pulled out a 2008 box of .22LR (it's 2018 now) to plink at the range the other day and half the loads stovepiped, wouldn't fire, or just generally didn't shoot. It really put a dampener on an otherwise fun day shooting metal turkeys.
My storage up to that point was in a shoebox in my dresser drawer. After reading this thread I ordered a whole bunch of 50 cal cans (metal of course - wow that foot!), dessicant packs that you can re-set if need be, and ammo for our various guns. I even started to order those cool magnets from ammocanmagnets.com, but they don't have 25.06 so I had to send them an email letting them know us "ott six" shooters exist.
At any rate, this thread was gold for my search. Thanks guys!
