Ammo Storage?

is it ok for the ammunition if you just dump it in a metal ammo can with nothing between the ammo and the metal.

Thank you

It'll be just fine as long as the seal on the ammo can is in good shape, and the inside of the can has no rust.

I toss in a couple of packs of desiccant. It's cheap.

Can only add to the previous posts:
Keep in a cool dry place with little
temperature fluctuation and ammo
will last longer than you. Don't forget
to shoot some.
