Like many of you, I buy pellets in bulk when they are on sale. My idea of bulk may not be exactly what another person's is, though. I recently bought 50,000 RWS R10 177 heavy pellets, for example. (I am shooting 50,000- 70,000 pellets a year, and trying to reach a sustainable 80,000 shots per year - for competition practice purposes.)
Because I live in a humid climate I recently repurposed my wife's vacuum food sealer and am now vacuum sealing the sleeves of pellets upon arrival. The hope is that they will not suffer oxidation, during storage. Has anyone else considered this, or are you doing this? If so, what is the longest period you have held a vacuum selaed can of pellets in storage and found them to still be fresh- no oxidation at all?
