Hello, Long time lerker, short time poster. I live in Southern AZ where summers can be a little rough. Looking to store some ammo in a garage with no AC. I know it is not the best idea but will it cause a serious problem? Thanks for any help.

atleast it's a dry heat, better than humid. try to keep it in a cool dry place. But you should be ok.

You should be OK, its moe the humidity than the temperature. Just put it in Ammo Cans w/ good seals and it should store indefinantly.

Im in S. FLorida w/ no AC and lots of humidity and my ammo is doing fine

I wouldn't do it unless it's ammo you don't really give a crap about. Like someone once posted here... The Military takes GOOD CARE of its Ammo.

I do the same.

Yeah.... plinking ammo you'll probably shoot up in the next two years is likely going to do fine.....
Keep your good defense/match/SHTF ammo (should be less total volume I'm guessing than your plinking ammo stock - and you may want to keep it unfired for more than 5 years) in ammo cans in your closet or under the bed or something. Surely you can find room for a few .50 cal cans in your living space! Heck, if you're a bachelor, use them as "legs" for your plywood coffee table!

P.S. its now 100F here in Dallas, and my garage is 5 degrees more.
