You must have some steel cased ammo. I would store it in old mil spec ammo cans. Most of the steel cased ammo has a finsh on them using oil on them most likely will take it off plus you could contamnte the primers and powder. Store it in a air tight container and it well not rust. Use brass casings they don't rust.

Store it in a GI ammo can and add a couple small silica gel packs to absorb any moisture. That will do the job.
