How do you store your ammo?

[W.E.G.]

Once you have an ammo supply beyond "a few boxes," those little plastic 50-boxes, and 20-boxes become impractical for anything other than a range trip.

USGI ammo cans.

All the way.

I will admit that I use ziplock bags inside the cans to segregate the contents.
There can be issues with this if the cans are rough handled. I don't think its beyond possibility that if you picked up one of the cans containing loose ammo, and you dropped that can hard, that a primer might be struck with sufficient force to make the round pop.

.223 on stripper clip, 10 clips in a plastic bag sealed and a label on every bag with reload information. And in a USGI ammo can.
Pistol 100 to a bag with label, and in a USGI ammo can.
Other rifle in plastic shell boxes, labeled, ina USGI ammo can.

When Im not scouring up all the 38, 357, 380, 44, 45, 223 brass that I can at the range, Im digging through the trash like a raccoon. I love the trays that federal 9mm, 38, 357 and 380 come in. 4 of them fit perfectly in the bottom of a 50 cal can with almost zero wiggle. this way I can fit 800 38/357 in a 50 cal can and 1,200 380 in a can. I would just bulk loose pack my 38 in a 50 cal can and call it a day but I cast my own and the tumble lube leaves the bullets sticky a tad which makes the cases not look so pretty if theyre all jumbled together.

I put mine in gallon oil jugs with a four or five inch hole where the spout was. Pistol only and keep about 500 rds in each one.

I reload 45 ACP mostly, and load up 2 loading blocks (100 rounds) at a time and put those in a quart-size slide-lock bag with powder, charge wgt, bullet wgt, date, crimp, OAL details written in Sharpie on the bag.

I put the bags of loaded rounds into 2 separate 30cal ammo cans with a 50cal ammo can as overflow if needed. 800-900 (can't remember) rounds fit in one 30 cal ammo can. I take 1-2 bags for a shooting session, and old bags are used to put the spent brass in at the range.

I load single stage, so the brass is kept in Sterilite bins (shoebox size) labeled for each of 3 stages (clean, deprimed, primed and flared). Dirty brass goes straight to the tumbler after shooting, then through the bins, then powder and bullet seating/crimping as one uninterrupted stage to finish.

I gave old factory 50 round ammo boxes and the reloader MTM or other such boxes a thought, but then I realized I could have $100 in boxes pretty quick - so I opted for ziplock (slide-lock) bags. They fit into my range bag, or a pocket easy too. The Gladware food containers that are about a 6" square and 2" tall or so make a good size to hold 100 rounds of 45 ACP if you wanted a "stackable" option. These still are much cheaper than the MTM boxes.
