[QUOTE="Lycanthrope, post: 483865, member: 562"] I was thinking the other day that ive got a lot of gunpowder setting around in the original containers, mostly 8lb jugs, and since I dont use it very fast, I should explore better ways to store it. I ended up putting it in 1/2 gallon glass mason jars with desiccant packs and o2 absorber packs and vacuum sealing a bunch of it. I figure this should maximize storage/shelf life... Anyone else do something similar? How long, from your experience, is gunpowder good for before it starts to degrade? Its always kept in a cool, dark closet in my basement. [/QUOTE]
