I am new to CCDW and to moonclips and I recently loaded 100 moonclips for my M25 with practice ammunition and have it stored in a heavy plastic ammo box.

It would seem to be as safe and secure as loose cartridges in a box from the factory which I have seen, but is there anything particular I should do? They are in three layers. Should I put cardboard between the layers to keep the bullet tips from contacting the primers of the lower row?

It would seem unlikely that there could be a primer strike sufficient to ignite with the box riding around in a car or truck or even if it dropped or there were an accident, but I have no data.

Has anyone experienced or witnessed mishaps with moonclips?

Thanks.

NO!

I have an GI ammo can full of them, and have had for years.

Here's a "container" I used when transporting 48 rounds in and out of my car for my 25-2.

The "container" is actually the cheap red centerfire ammo carrier that comes with 20 rounds of Federal .270 ammo. I have a bunch of 'em.

Heck, you can even use the belt slots to mount it on a belt.

I find it an excellent way to carry and access extra ammo for a .45ACP revolver.

WalMart has a little camera case with a velcro strap that goes around your belt that sells for $2 at our local store that secures and conceals 6 moonclips and is totally unobtrusive for carry.

The BladeTech carrier holds 2. It is much quicker, but pretty obvious.

Nice M25, S&Wfan. I have the Lew Horton 3" barrel. It conceals better than I would have thought. Not as handy as the M640 in the pocket, but a lot more gun.

I am glad to hear that no one has had problems with transporting loose moonclips. They are so much easier than speedloaders and it is convenient to load a few boxes at a time.

The High Road has been a great source of information (not to mention entertainment). Thanks Oleg and everyone.
