Not so much for storage, but I found my new "completed cartridge" bin:
Had to stop loading. Ran out of MTM boxes

Dang, I bet mtm loves you! To each his own but I store mine in ziplock sack and GI ammo cans.

I know one thing for sure. A 5 gallon bucket 1/2 full of 45 ACP cant be picked up without pulling the handle off.:banghead: They are good to store brass and finished ammo in if you don't want to move them or stack them.
I use 5 gallon buckets, 40 MM ammo cans, 50 cal and 30 cal ammo cans, with freezer type Zip-Loc baggies marked with the info. The sandwich bags could split and the contents spill and a round possibly be set off.

If you have not ordered yet, you can buy directly from Berry's. http://www.berrysmfg.com/product-i14524-c29-g8-b0-p0-403_38357_1.63_OAL_Ammo_Box.aspx
Free shipping on orders over $50 and the boxes are less than $1ea if you buy in cases of 50. Pretty good deal and Berry's is super nice to do business with.

Berry's are a good deal price-wise. The 100-rd ones have that plastic connector strap rather than a hinge (same as on MTM 50s).
I don't know if I'm alone in this, but the ones I bought (100-rd .45-10mm) don't stay closed as well as MTM. Never had one pop open, just found myself thinking one might. The 9mm ones are more secure. YMMV.

How many cheese balls do you figure there's in the bottle?
Almost a week's worth.

I don't use the 100 rd boxes, so i can't speak about them. I have never had a 50 round Berry's open inadvertently though and I have hundreds of them.
Since I recently started reloading I don't have large quantities of ammo on hand at any one time. I load a hundred rounds, go shoot 'em, load a hundred more, go shoot 'em...
But it's summer, and I'm fairly busy with other things. This winter, when I'm stuck indoors, I expect to develop a storage problem. I've stored ammo in a Playmate picnic cooler which seemed to work pretty well.

Otto,
Yes I got burned with the new hinge on some of the 357 max boxes I bought. That is why I am laying in some of the older stock so I have spares.
Like you I am now looking for a new supplier than MTM (much to my chagrin!)

Every time i go to the range while waiting for a cease fire, i scrounge through the trash bin for the white plastic federal trays. Great for 380, 9mm, 38, 357 etc etc... And four trays fit perfectly in the bottom of a 50 cal ammo can- nice and snug. Can fit 800 38 specials in trays in a can or 1200 380's
