My phone rotated the picture. Can someone rotate it so the cartridges are pointing up. Thanks, Dogslayer.

I store most ammo in factory packaging, some in ammo cans. I don't worry about heat. I have some ammo that I've stored for 20 years and have never had any go bad.

I do have a question about shotgun shells though. I don't shoot near as much shotgun as I did when I was younger. Has anyone seen shells crack or degrade from heat?

Ammo cans are for storing ammo. Good idea in case of fire or flood.

I keep my shotgun shells in the garage, both new and used for reloading. Some of them are at least 20 years old and they haven't cracked yet.
