So with all the firearm info out there when it comes to ammo info is few and far between. Especially when it comes to basics-storage, care and cleaning. For example, i recently purchased some MTM Caseguard boxes intending to use for long term storage. Since they are plastic and waterproof it seemed the way to go. A couple of days ago however, i'm reading somewhere that ammo should be stored in the original factory boxes. I assume this means that moisture will get trapped inside and corrode the ammo inside. Cleaning, from what i gather is a whole art in itself. How to handle, polish or not polish, what can be done to prevent corrosion, what happens to a cartridge once corrosion has started, what solvents to use or not to use? Fingerprints on ammo causes corrosion so now i can only touch it wearing gloves? If you did get fingerprints on the cartridge you need to wipe them off before shooting it-but how and with what? Not oil, no solvents, ammonia, WD-40, or anything that could penetrate the casing and cause the primer to break down which in turn could cause a misfire. This is getting confusing Anyone have an ammo bible for sale?
