ammo storage

[CandG]

Also, I tend to only buy 2 different types of ammo for each caliber - bulk, and defensive/match-grade. I've noticed some people have like 20 different kinds of ammo for the same caliber - different brands, bullets, casing type, etc. It's a lot harder to keep everything organized in that case. For me, once I find bulk ammo I like, and a defensive or match-grade ammo I like, I just buy a whole ton of only those two, and shoot off the rest of them. I don't see the point in hanging on to ammo that I don't like as much. So I don't really have to worry too much about keeping it all organized and labeled. It's sort of like a "minimalist approach" to ammo hoarding

I keep most of mine in original boxes just in case I ever have to sell them it would be easier for me or my family if I die

I think you have a fire on the bottom of your safe. Either that or a super compact sun.

Do they sell those containers by the dozen? Lol

Good work OP looks nice and organized

Heh, yeah I would need a few, at least.

I keep mine in original boxes, belts, whatever. Some of it is hard to find, and if you pull it apart, it loses it's provenance and a lot of value. I had a bunch of original M60 and M249 belts and the idiot thief that stole it pulled it all apart. Tore open a bunch of military match ammo in original boxes and threw it into cans. I'm surprised he didn't cut open more of my battle packs. He was caught but he still devalued much of the ammo that was recovered.

I keep my ammo in it's original packaging, then put that in ammo cans with a dessicant. Reloads are stored loose in a labelled ammo can.

Half loose, half boxed in ammo cans with a few desiccant packs. Costco had a sale on 50/30cal at a decent price. Wish I bought more.

They still have them, I try to grab a set each time I go.

I store everything in "fat .50" cans; factory ammo stays in factory boxes in the cans along with a big dessicant bag and a ziplock baggie with the ammo's receipts. Bulk gets dumped into their own cans along with a big dessicant bag and a ziplock baggie with the receipt inside. I label each can on top with painters tape and a marker as to the can's contents. All the cans go into a Knaack job box.

I have another rifle lockbox- the $99 special at Turners- that I built shelves for, and that's where I keep all my primers and powder. Bullets, cases and dies stay on the reloading bench.

The common denominator I'm seeing here so far is that almost everyone is putting their ammo in metal cans with desiccant, the only variable is how the ammo is organized within each can, and how the cans themselves get stored

The way I see it, our military has been storing ammo in those cans for the better part of a century, to great success, so why change now

Since all my early 1940's stuff still has never had a fail. I do not think much about it. Good ammo lasts a very long time...
