Silica Gel Desiccant packets are ideal for ammo storage helping to protect your investment!
If you are buying ammo with the intent of storing it for a while, then there are a few major things to consider to ensure it's longevity:
Avoid excessive, prolonged heat Avoid excessive, prolonged cold Keep it cool Avoid wild temperature swings Most importantly, **Keep It Dry**
For longer term storage, it is recommended that you store your ammunition in ammo cans with a rubber seal. The Military learned this a long time ago, which is why they started making ammo cans. For additional longevity, insert a moisture pack (desiccant) inside of the ammo can which will help keep humidity away from your prized ammo. Also, every time you open and close your ammo can, it is probably a good idea to switch out the silica gel packet as new moisture will enter the can.
5 gram packets are designed to cover 648 cubic inches of contained air space (enough for one 50 Cal M2A1 ammo can).

LUCKY GUNNER HAS BEEN VERY GOOD WITH SERVICE, PRICES AND CUSTOMER SERVICE, I BUY ALL MY AMMO FROM THEM AND EVEN IF YOU NEED TO RETURN SOMETHING, THERE IS NO HASSLE OR PROBLEM, THEY ARE THE GREATEST!!!!!! (Posted on 6/6/13)Quality Performance Value - Disappointed Review by Steve
-
I purchased two packages of 10-packets, which just arrived today. In one package, the bottom of the package was full of silica beads. I opened the package and half the packets were split open with their contents spilling out. They weren't open by being cut or torn, rather the desiccant packs look worn and the material thin from use. Basically, they looked used. The other package has a number of loose beads at the bottom of the package, but I haven't opened it yet. I was hoping to save it for later use. But I suspect the desiccant packs will be in a similar (used) condition. I will not buy these again. (Posted on 11/2/12)Performance Value Quality - Perfect for LG ammo cans Review by Fit1988

JohnHolahan said: "I was referred to Lucky Gunner by a friend, in law enforcement, that has made multiple purchases at their website. So I placed an order that was delivered faster than I expected with product that I am very pleased with. I plan to use this company for my future purchases and will recommend Lucky Gunner to my friends."

I did a lot of looking around and this is by far the most user friendly website out there for your ammo needs. Inventory is "real time" so there's no guesswork as to when it will ship. Shipping is fast and the more you buy, the better the overall value! It's a better deal than those "box stores" like Academy, Wal-Mart or Bass Pro AND they have it in stock! I am very happy to have found Lucky Gunner and will continue to tell everyone about it. These guys obviously take pride in what they do and THIS is what customer service should be like. Others could learn something from their model. Thanks again."
