I was just wondering how everyone stores their reloaded ammo in bulk? Loose in ammo cans? The plastic ammo trays?

How do you store your reloads?

in gallon plastic bags with dessicant in each bag. then, zipped up and stored in plastic ammo cans with rubber seals, which also have dessicant in them.
my ammo is also tumbled for 10-15 min with a polish and media that helps limit corrosion.
people poo poo tumbling loaded rounds, but I never had a problem...ever.
I bulk reload for 9mm, 38 special, .357mag, 10mm, .223, and .308 cartridges. -
I REALLY like the Rubbermaid TAKE-ALONGS. They are plastic, see through, stackable and you get like 5 for $3.00 or whatever the going rates are. I like the small rectangular ones but depending on how much you put in them, you can only stack them a few at a time. They are still good though.
Otherwise I would be using ammo boxes, like .30 cal for each load, but damn that will get expensive.
I am a believer. I pulled out a live 9mm from the wash after it tumbled for 2 hours in with the SS pins and water/Citric Acid and it still fired fine...in gallon plastic bags with dessicant in each bag. then, zipped up and stored in plastic ammo cans with rubber seals, which also have dessicant in them.

Need GOOD SS pins to clean your brass? Try the new and improved model...

Plastic cases for my test loads then once I find the load I just put in a plastic bag and put it in the "reloads" ammo can. Range reloads just go loose in a can and I shoot them.NRA Lifer

And a business card with the load info in the gallon bag with date for loads.
Range brass, pockets, range bag, old ammo boxes..

That a good idea. I've had to write it on the bag but it's only ~200 rounds with two loads. I keep a journal for my loads and I only do two calibers so I don't have too much floating around at a time.NRA Lifer

For long term storage of plinker rounds I have been using my food sealer. 50 rounds then seal and store in ammo can. Same goes for the 40 hunting rounds I take in my "go bag" on two week hunting trips every year. Moisture shouldn't ever be a problem. Haven't heard of anyone else doing this, but it should work well.Comment

MTM boxes color coded by caliber. Also have all load data in each box as I have made different loads.Attached FilesComment

Dang. That is hard core, but if I had one, that would be a choice.For long term storage of plinker rounds I have been using my food sealer. 50 rounds then seal and store in ammo can.

Plastic ammo boxes labeled with load data for loaded rounds.
Sealed plastic bags for clean, trimmed, ready to load brass.
Large plastic jugs that cat litter came in for range brass.Originally posted by ar15barrelsSo you are throwing out 95% of reality to select the 5% of reality where you are actually right?
