Ammo in the garage...in Phoenix - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

I took all of my ammo out of the garage yesterday and brought it into the house after reading a thread about what heat can do to ammo. Do you think I ruined my ammo by storing it in such a hot place for these last couple of months?

I guess that depends on the bullet. I have had the wax ring melt in the case causeing some problems. But if you load anything else I don;t see a problem nior Have I had one.

I live in Nevada and it's hot here too, but I don't think it's hot enough to affect my ammo. Maybe something may happen to it in 100 years?

I leave my range ammo in the garage in Phoenix. It may degrade slightly over a long period of time, but it should make it weaker, not explosive or dangerous in any way.

Carry ammo gets AC in the house.
