I was wondering if vacuum sealing ammunition in the box, with a desiccant in the vacuum bag would do damage to the ammunition.
Thanks for any help.

Did you leave the 5.56 in the box or was it loose rounds in the vacuum seal bag?
Last I knew, every round of military ammo had the primer sealed in the pocket and the bullet sealed to the case mouth with lacquer. Is that not S.O.P. these days?I think the military just keeps it in 'a cool dry place' and they've been know to use ammo that years and years (and even more years).
Why? Vacuum sealing will control whatever moisture makes it into the root cellar, and the temperature should be pretty constant year 'round. Sounds like a plan to me.psalm7 said:Talked to someone not long ago that was going to vacume seal hundreds of rounds then store them in a root cellar . I hope he changed his mind .
All in all, it's probably cheaper and more practical to buy a $10 resealable ammo can.
