Gun safes for ammo/reloading supplies

Reloading
1

Who all keeps ammo/reloading supplies in a dedicated gun safe to combat humidity? I live in Arkansas, which is an extremely humid state. I keep my guns and ammo in my shop, which is closer to a man cave than a traditional shop. I do have heat and air, but I’ll keep it 80ish in the summer when I’m not using it. My gun case with a golden rod keeps the humidity under control, but the actual shop will get high at times in the summer. Just depends how much I’m running the air.

I don’t have enough room in my current gun safe, so I thought about buying another safe dedicate to ammo and powder especially since I’m getting into reloading.

Is powder more susceptible to humidity than loaded ammo?

Powder is more susceptible to humidity but it can happen to loaded ammo too. I buy the duty humidity control packets on ammo and put it in with my powder.

Some humidity isn’t necessarily bad. The problem is changes in humidity throughout the year. So I buy the 30% packets which is the year-round average for where I live so it stays consistent. The brand I buy is Boveda.
