I keep a lot of mine in wall cabinets in my garage that I have locked. I also have random ammo cans and boxes I use for everything that won't go in the cabinets.
When I say garage, I live in Wyoming where humidity is not an issue and during the winter months, my garage is heated at 58 degrees.
When we lived in Austin, I stored everything inside the house because of the high humidity.
Vaccum seal it with a dessicant bag, is what I do, using commercial bags, then in totes in the garage, and various other places.
I've opened some that was 4 yrs old, and it was good as new, with no tarnish.
I have all my ammo in ammo cans marked with contents, stored inside a Walmart lockable metal gun locker. Works well. Also store accessories like scopes, ear muffs, knives etc. works well.
Sealed ammo cans in climate controlled area. I've stored for 30+ years like that and it's good.
Friend used to store his in cabinets in the garage in Texas and it wasn't long before it started to corrode.
