We are looking at logistics of airgun pellet storage, both quantity and storage conditions.
Can some of you experienced guys offer advice on how best to store them?
What quantity of pellets should we store?
We are thinking 10,000 pellets is a good starting point. Using 20 per week for hunting, that will give around a 10 year supply. This sounds a huge number, but is this enough?

thats 200 tins @500 per tin, thats a lot of tins to store, get a large box or something similar to put them in or else your liable to lose a few if their spread around the house!

Will the normal airgun last through 10,000 shots?
With regular firearms it is only the rare military grade shooter that will hold up to the 5,000 shots that NATO requires. I would not begin to expect the seals in my airgun to last that long.

Its prudent to keep service kits for air rifles, its usually down to luck and atmospherics how long they last for. some better air rifles have chroumium coated bores like the M60, others have only hardened, and of course it depends on the quality / density / mix of the alloy used to make the lead pellets. In the UK theres still poachers taking game with 50 year old air sporters whilst guys with 5 year old pneumatics have failed.
AG ammo is also good for barting as well as your own use, but either way air gunners should keep spair springs or gas rams, seals, O rings, top hat bushes and spring guides anyway.

Should be okay mate.
You'll be trapping and stuff as well, and after 10 years there will be a society formed that will hold farming and the alike. You'll be fine with 10 years of ammo.
Probably be fine with 1 years worth, or even 2 if you're scared.
