The rice is a great moisture absorber. I put rice in a cloth bag or put some rice in a paper tower, wrap up and place it in ammo storage can. The rice is a great moisture absorber.

CO2 can make water acidic, It forms carbonic acid in water. So if there was moisture in the container, it could be acidified by the CO2. Not that it would be very corrosive. A better gas to purge the container with would be argon. Argon is inert and will not react with anything.

The dessicant will remove residual moisture remaining in the container. Maybe we have a chemist out there that cares to chime in....

I have stored lots of ammo in ammo cans with CO2 to replace the air. ( it's heavier than air and will remain in an ammo can ) Dessicant pacs included in the can should keep them dry for years! Your opinion please! Just curious if CO2 has any detrimental affect on ammo. I have stored lots of ammo in ammo cans with CO2 to replace the air.
