Shot oxidization prevention

[Rató:rats]

I bought a 25lb bag of #6 lead shot back in 2022. It’s been sitting in my temp controlled basement with a corner torn open to fill my shot flask. As it seems this 25 pound hemp sack of shot will last me the next decade at least what measures can I take to prevent oxidization occurring besides securely fastening the opening?
Many thanks for your suggestions

maybe if it is not already coated you can use graphite on it some shot is already coated so check it first

I'd put it in a container of some sort with some desiccant packs.

I wouldn't worry about it but to each his own. I will be checking out replies though.

I store all my different shot in the large plastic juice bottles that just normal juice comes in with the lid on them. Easy to pour and they are clear and really tough. Had some of them for 15 years or more. No oxidation but it’s also super dry in Wyoming.

a 2- liter soda bottle of juice bottle is your friend.

For clay birds I do not care about oxidation. For game I will eat I use clean shot. 2YO shot is new by my perspective. Anything that keeps the air out will work to prevent oxidation.

I've used slick 50 on my airgun pellets. I don't do it to prevent oxidation but seems to work that way.
