Howdy.
I live in a fairly temperate region of the USA.
When the ex and I broke up, I transformed her walk-in closet( 10footx6foot, no windows) into my gunroom. Safes have goldenrods installed as well as dessicant canisters. Installed a GE Room dehumidifier. Room also has a register for the heat-pump, to keep the temperature fairly constant.
Question: What would be the best humidity level for this room? I figured that the lower the better. I velcroed an el cheapo 'barometer' taken from an old cigar humidor to the door of one of the safes. It reads from 0 to 100. I try to keep it below 30%, which varies +/- 5%. If I control the humidity to get a lower level, the room gets a bit hot...I figure extreme temp changes aren't too good for the ammo.
Any better ideas to keep things constant? Should I buy a real barometer? Am I getting a bit too anal??? Wait, is that rust on the CZ grip screw? The horror, the horror....
