As long as you like. Storing ammo at room temperature isn't going to be the issue - humidity is going to be a much more worrisome factor than the 74 degree temperature.

To avoid problems associated with humidity, store ammo in a military style ammunition (ammo) can with desiccant inside. Desiccant can be purchased at many hardware and sporting goods stores. Ammo cans can be purchased at most military surplus stores or at many gun shows.

Can you shoot 38 long colt or a 38 in a 38 55 Winchester leaver?

No, you cannot safely shoot .38 Long Colt or .38 Special cartridges in a .38-55 Winchester lever-action rifle. The .38-55 cartridge has a larger case diameter and is designed for a different pressure level than the .38 Long Colt or .38 Special. Attempting to use the wrong ammunition could lead to dangerous malfunctions or damage to the firearm. Always use the correct caliber ammunition specified for your rifle.
