Long term barrel storage

Silver $$ Contributor
I have 3 barrel blanks coming, two of which are for a 30BR. (Got a great deal on them all). By the time I get to the second 30BR barrel, God only knows how long that will be. I'd imagine 2-3+ years. Plus I have a newborn, so I'm not shooting as much these days and won't be for a little bit.

The problem is, I'm in Upstate NY and the climate and humidity swings here are insane. Rust is a problem in my reloading room.

I was thinking about maybe packing the bore with grease and vacuum seal the bags? Probably over kill, but I'd rather be safe than sorry and spend a day cleaning a barrel blank than have it covered in rust.

Any ideas on what to use or a better method?

Thanks fellas!
