![]() ![]() Plus, MTM containers are made in the USA. It’s similar in size, and it features a rubber gasket seal with a decent clamping lid, carry handle, and padlock holes for basic security. The MTM Ammo Can is basically a polymer version of the M2. ![]() It’s made from steel, it’s coated with a rustproof paint, it’s easy to carry, it can hold plenty of weight (up to 50 lbs.) and it has a reliable gasket seal with a sturdy clamp. The M2 Ammo Can is arguably the best ammo storage container available. We can recommend a few cases to keep things simple. That means something made of decent polymer or coated steel, with a rubber gasket providing a proper seal. It’s best to invest in properly sealed containers for your ammo. They’re excellent at preventing a container of ammo from accumulating moisture. These little perforated pouches contain silica gel beads, which absorb moisture in the air. You probably know these as “dehumidifiers.” If you’ve ever found a small, cloth packet of plastic beads inside some packaging, you’ve seen a desiccant pack. Even in dry cold or heat, extreme temperatures can cause gunpowder to break down, resulting in misfires and unreliable cycling. The inverse is also true: Very high temperatures can exacerbate the effects of humidity and lead to rapid corrosion. Colder temperatures can cause the sealant on primers to fail, and condensation can more easily form. Regardless of the caliber, casing, or powder, all ammo should be stored at 55 to 80 degrees (F). Three things determine whether ammo – once pulled out of storage after years – fires reliably, or fizzes out: Temperature, exposure, and moisture. Let’s dive into how to properly store SHTF ammo for the long haul, and take a look at how much you might want to keep around, just in case. That last one means having a stockpile of ammunition to feed your pistols, shotguns, and long rifles. ![]() When it comes to preparing for natural or man-made disasters (or another end-of-days global infection), you need to invest in five things: food, water, shelter, power, and personal defense. In short, the pandemic gave us a taste of a real “SHTF” scenario. We saw empty shelves in grocery stores, lack of access to medications for chronic conditions, and mass civil unrest exacerbated by unemployment and politicking. Armed preppers were once derided as paranoid hoarders. ![]()
