MTM also. No cabinet.

 

Yes! I've had this one on for an hour and already liking it

 

Seconded. I have two crates that hold 3x MTM boxes each for loose pack (range time). My tac ammo is in 50 cal cans. Then I have multiple unopened crates for the bulk stuff like 556, 762, and 9mm. Everything is stored inside my house so it it temp and humidity controlled.

 

Thanks for the reponses.
I am trying to consolidate and save space.
Will try ditching factory packaging and dumping round together in ammo cans.

Wish I had not bought so many MTM ammo crates last year.
Cans seem to be the way to go for space and portability.

 

Directly into the mags/clips, and if I run out of mags/clips then it goes in an ammo can for that caliber, but still in it's original box if there's any variety in loads. IE, all my 30-06 on clips in cans for my M1, all my 223 in mags then in cans without boxes because I only run 1 load, 9mm in mags, then boxed in cans because I have a mix of FMJ and HP, and all my 22lr is boxed in cans because my Marlin has no mags (yay tube feed!)

 

Id agree this is good practice. I had freedom munitions contact me about a batch they had sent out.

 

I ordered 2 boxes of Browning 6.5 Creedmoors a couple years ago, one of the boxes had a shell that didn't have a primer in it. I sent them an email and guess who sent me an email back? Winchester

They sent me a check for the price of the box of ammo.

 

Never thought about that. At least keeping record of the order in some form.

 

If you stockpile ammo you should always keep a record of Lot numbers and receipts. Especially when you are storing it for long periods of time. It did not happen regularly, but a couple of times a year I would get ammo recalled while I was on active duty.

 

I haven’t bought factory ammo in years, I reload everything. I store plinking ammo loose in .30 cal ammo cans. It’s amazing how many rounds you can fit in one can. I haven’t actually counted but I think you can fit close to 1000 rounds of 9mm in a 30 cal ammo can if it’s loose. Ammo for serious stuff I store various boxes, but there isn’t nearly as much of that.

 

the subcompact that just came out I'd want in 9mm. Sorry that wasn't clear. I don't think they offer the subcompact in 22.


I keep everything in the boxes they come in then in ammo cans separated by size. Lot numbers can be what helps a manufacturer with issues and such. I try to finish boxes instead of leaving with 5 rounds left of a 100 round box

 

Mostly ammo cans.

 

And I’m over here rocking 1128 Folgers cans

 

Each buried in a different location in the back yard?

 

It’s hell when you go dig for 357 mag and come up with 375 h&h

 

Like a really fucked up treasure map with 497 x’s on it.

 

I put everything in these:

Then into 50cal ammo cans.

 

Yeah I heard today that gun stores can now do DRIVE THRU and CURBSIDE PICKUP!!!!
Just wow...
Cool AF indeed...
