    Where should ammo be stored in order to keep it in it's best condition. As in temperature/humidity etc.

    In it's original packaging, dry and away from direct heat sources.

    How about humidity. There is a lot of moisture floating about in the air. If a room rarely has heating on in the winter would this be likely to be a problem in the future.

    If moisture I would be worried about mu guns and make sure they are rubbed down with a oily rag. Use silica bags where there is moisture where either the guns or ammo is stored
