Ammo Storage????? and How I do it

Doglips · 01-24-2004, 02:44 PM

Originaly my plan was to put each calaber int he Frankford arsenle plastic indivualy seperated cartrige boxes....but since Ive been buying pistol brass per 1000 that added up to real $$ real quick.
I stumbled on to these Cardboard Bullet and Ammo Box 6-1/32" x 3-23/32" x 1-7/16" White Box. From midway...When I first got them I went these things are way too freaking small...I wasted $16 bucks for 100 of these things....but I figured it was better than the Ziplock bags I was useing. They ended up holding 75 9mm 50 45acp and 357 mag rounds....20 45/70 and 458 mag (with a 300 grain hp_..... I found out I can get 12 in a 30cal ammo can....3 rows of 4 with not side to side movement.... I never bothered to count the cast bullets they hold but about 100 seems right...course it will hold more 90 grain bullets than 500 grain ones

The boxes have plenty of room to write on...powder....bullet type etc.... These seem to be the best way for me to store my loaded ammo...unloaded brass....bullets etc.
I store the boxes in 30 cal ammo cans with a stick on lable with the ammo type....boxees have the load data on them.

I would like to know how you all store your ammo??????

Whatever doesn't fit in the ammo boxes in the cabinet is sitting in GI ammo cans.
