What do you do with 22lr value packs?

[Titan6]

Load the hi cap mags and dump the rest into a pocket on the range bag. When the boys are done shooting we repeat till they get tired.

 

[MiddleAgedKen]

Like Mustanger98, I use spare 100-round cases. I have several CCI MiniMag empties I like to use.

 

[waterhouse]

I use CCI 100 round plastic boxes after I shoot the good stuff from them. I just print a label of the ammo brand, weight, velocity, etc and tape it to the CCI box.

ETA: didn't read the whole thread at first. Apparently many here do the same thing. Sorry for the the Mynah bird act.

Now I have some good idea's. Thanks a lot for you ways to manage the value packs. I think I also need to invest in a coule of hi-cap mags for the 10-22.

I use the federal bulk 550rd box's and I dump about 5 boxs into a 30cal ammo can and strap it to a ATV. For shorter treks i load up the Spee-D-Loader and take the marlin 60.

I have an old remington tin that my father gave me that holds a whole brick

Another 100 round CCI slide-case user here.

 

[doc2rn]

I just use a skoal can for hunting. To have fun though I just open the box with a friend, or a new person I want to intro to the sport. You would be surprised how many people take up plinking to have a day with the guys.

 

[smullen]

I buy a couple a week, and stack them in the basement

best answer yet!!!

Depending on how many rounds I'm taking (depends on how many people go) I either dump mine in a .30 cal ammo can or a small plastic box, either will normally fit in my range bag...

 

[Magnuumpwr]

dtalley, that is my position. I have at least 3 mags for my semi-auto 22's and to refill in the field I carry like most everyone else that posted, in hard plastic boxes for CCI ammo.

Yet another CCI plastic box carrier here. I also use the 50-round Stinger boxes, which are even handier.

If I know I'm going to be spending a LOT of leisurely time at the range, I may just take the whole 550-rd bulk pack box.

 

[silverlance]

i use cci mini mag cases.
if you want a couple, send me a few bucks for postage and ill send a couple to you. my stupid mosquito only eats mini mag so i have a lot... and the pack rat in me likes keeping everything that looks reusable.

 

[primlantah]

buy valuepacks that are boxes of 40 or 50 round boxes. very handy when you dont shoot all 550.

 

[doubleh]

Going to the range or caliche pit I carry the whole box. Hunting I have a belt pouch that velcros shut and hold about 100 rounds. Got it from Cabela's.

 

[jackstinson]

I usually put 50 rounds in a 2"x4" ziplock bag.
It's easy to throw a few bags in the case when I go to the range. Of course, I also load magazines and a "Spee-D-Loader" at home from the bulk pack prior to going to the range.
In the woods plinking I carry a pair of old Mosin Nagant clip pouches on my belt, one with a few bags of cartridges, one with spare loaded magazines if I'm carrying a pistol.

Go to MidwayUSA and look for Marble's catch 22 storage dispenser. I saw it in the catalog a few nights ago and looks like a pretty handy idea.

 

[partyharty]

What do you do with 22lr value packs?

Why I shoot them of course......

:>

 

[LiquidTension]

I just leave the whole box in my range chest (Stanley tool box). Last time I went out in the woods I carried the box with me.

 

[dhoomonyou]

I put them in plastic bags of 100 rounds.

always leave 500 in my range bag along with a 22LR revolver

100 rounds is 11 3/8 ounces.

 

[MinnMooney]

I generally pick up 100rd CCI boxes...

Me too.

 

[mustanger98]

Also, my Walmart is now carrying the Winchester Xpert 500 round bulk pack - same, better or worse than Federal?

I shoot both the Federal 550rd and Winchester Xpert 500rd bulk pack offerings. They're both good ammo, but they're different.

Federal's load is a copper plated bullet running about 1325-1350fps, I disremember the exact velocity. It'll cycle semi-auto rifles and pistols reliably in my experience and it's accurate.

Winchester Xpert is a lead hollowpoint bullet loaded to run at "standard velocity" which is probably about 1000fps. It's quite accurate from my Remington 521-T which is a match rifle. It won't reliably cycle semi-autos though.

It just depends on what you want to do with each load.

waterhouse, I don't think that's a "Mynah bird act". You're the first one in this thread that I've noticed labeling your .22rimfire ammo instead of just going by headstamp and bullet type.

 

[Gator]

I don't really want to carry all 500 rounds with me to the range or pasture.

Thats a normal day at the range

For hunting I have a small belt pouch.

 

[Belgiboy]

+1on the CCI minimag boxes for taking out in the field. for the range, well 500 rounds isn't all that much really
