    I would suggest anyone who reloads shotgun ammunition to store it in air tight containers particularly for extended times. The reloaded shell is not as moisture proof as the factory round therefore the lead will often times oxidize if not protected. The same goes for lead shot in bags, it needs to be stored in an air tight container as well. Any exposed lead tip bullet will oxidize if not protected as well. Just my $.02.

      Says the guy who doesn't shoot or keeping up with ammo prices which have gone up 100%+++ pre covid...weird question.

          Do you rotate it out regularly or does some of it stay in there for years with no issues?

              Unless it is a humid/wet climate, or they get flooded, it shouldnt be an issue. If the casing gets pitted or the bullet gets loose, thats when you discard. Discoloration isnt an issue.

                On pallets in a 40 foot climate controlled underground storage container buried somewhere in the woods. I should probably admit I’m joking so Biden’s storm troopers won’t come pay me a visit come 1st quarter 2021

                    We just bought a bunch of plastic ammo cans and my wife is going to put Vinland stickers with the caliber on each can that we fill it with.

                        I was joking around with my statement, it wasn’t a serious question.

Wasnt sure if I might create more room as I have more ammo than cans at the moment.

                          You’ll gain more room if it’s loose packed but I find if I only have a handful of boxes of X caliber it’s nicer to leave it in the box than pack it loose.

                                Yep just to clarify. And I sold my last couple of .22s and donated the funds to the BLM movement.
