My house...not this forum. This is a bit off topic but related in the sense I’m looking at moving my reloading equipment and components and wondered if others have done this and found effective ways to pack/store/move?
I’ll be moving the powders and primers myself, and most probably the rest.
I have the original boxes for the presses and scales, but of course they’re all different sizes. Usually shipping companies standardize box sizes for best trailer packing.
My dies, shellplates, and certain components are already separated by caliber and packed in Hefty 15 or 32 quart plastic bins.
The high volume brass 9/40/45/223 is in varied containers like wine boxes and 5 gallon pails.
I started buying some Home Depot HDX 27 gallon totes to contain various powders. I figured this size would pack out to under 50 pounds and I’ll need a few of these. Primers are in a separate tote.
Bullets are the big problem as anyone who’s gotten an RMR package first thanks the post guy/girl, gives them some cookies, and then struggles with a taped IIFIS box. I’m thinking many small boxes here.
And then there’s the loaded ammo. There are ammo cans, mtm boxes, factory, and various other containers (like qt Gatorade). Again I was thinking something along the lines of the Hefty hi-rise pro containers that would load out to 50ish pounds.
So if this is too far off topic just ax the thread!
