We reloaded a bunch over spring break last week. I bought some plastic ammo boxes on the cheap and have a question for the experts here.
Do I need to worry about storing these precious reloads in plastic boxes? Should I put a silca pack in each box or would it hurt to do that?
Thanks!
Jim

Not necessary, I've kept rounds stored in plastic boxes for years and they look like new. I do keep mine in a safe.
It would not hurt if you did. Maybe throw in one of those sugar packet size dessicants that come in a box of shoes or whatever. But as long as you are not constantly taking them for heat to cold, in and out, they won't attract moisture.
Good Hunting, Gary

You definitely will not hurt anything by adding the bags of desiccant.
