Is there a "shelf life" on ammo? I know I've shot ammo out of my M1 carbine that was 40 years old, but was just curious if there is a rule of thumb on this?

Instead of spending so much on special desicant, I put silica gel cat litter into a sock, tie it shut, and put that into a small tupperware container that I had drilled some holes into the lid. That should collect any excess moisture. Then I store it in a cool area down low on the floor.
Hope this helps.
