Fiocchi’s new line of Canned Heat ammunition has been designed for long term storage. The ammunition is sealed in metal can with an oxygen-free nitrogen gas atmosphere to prevent deterioration. The cans themselves have an enamel coating inside and out to insulate them to and prevent corrosion.
Smart. Go where the market is. Now, while this is a smart move on Fiocchi’s part, catering to an unserved market, its also something most hardcore preparedness freaks arent going to get too worked up about. Why? Well, when it comes to long term storage of ammo most of us are DIY-types. After all, surplus ammo cans are still available and it isnt too hard to pack ‘em up, wrap ‘em up, and put ‘em up. The suspenders-and-belt types will go a few steps further and vacuum seal or polymer coat the whole can.
Still, its nice to see ‘off the shelf’ solutions to the ammo storage issue.
