Not to hijack the thread, but this is pretty much an urban myth. Military ammo is sealed at both the primer pocket and case mouth, but civilian ammo seldom is.
I have ammo that I handloaded 20+ years ago, with no special "sealing" techniques, that shoots to the same specs today that they did when they were "fresh".
Properly handloaded ammo will last just as long as factory stuff.
