Flooding

[Deleted member 108014]

How does everyone store their powder primers brass and bullets in the flood? Or in general to protect from humidity?

It's flooding here and I have had as much as 60% humidity in my gun room. Is that enough to fowl my up my stuff?

I store mine in 50 cal military ammo cans with dessicant in the cans.

Ideally, I'd try to get the humidity down to 45-50%. The easiest way is to get yourself a dehumidifier at Home Depot and run it continuously. All the better if you have a sump pit nearby where you can drain directly into it from the unit. The one I have has a little drain hose and it will actually pump the water from the unit a vertical distance of up to 16'. So, you could even put the hose out a window. Also, if you have a safe, I'd highly recommend getting a golden rod.

Powder and Primers are in a gun safe with dessicant pouches.

Brass and Bullets in the top of the closet in a small tote also with dessicant pouches

If it was an issue, I'd get a vacuum seal set up and some desiccant packets and seal up everything not regularly used. Leave extra space so they can be resealed if opened.

You don't have to vacuum seal it. Just seal it with the heat press "thingy".

Those bAgs are pretty tough to as a side benefit.
