Storing Reloads

[herrwalther]

I store my empty brass or brass in various stages of prep (cleaned, trimmed, primed etc) in ziploc bags. I don't load much so as of right now I store my loads in MTM boxes. Easy and lazy solution as they come with labels to put on of how I made it.

It seems this topic comes up from time to time.
Those boxes look really nice but being the cheap SOB that I am the Zip-Loc freezer bags with all the air squeezed out and paper info label added, then stored in USGI metal ammo cans is my preferred way to store ammo for any length of time. Now if I make a batch to use within a week or so I just pour them in an empty ammo can or any suitable sized container with a carrying handle if available, carry it to the range and then use them up. I try to keep what I would normally shoot at any given range trip loaded ahead as a minimum reserve with each load I produce. Incidentally I actually store way more ammo as components due to the way component availability has been recently. I feel it is more prudent to be able to reload what you want today without having to strip down little used reloads to make what you need of a different caliber.

I like plastic storage boxes but in my apartment I don't really have room to store them.

So I use everything you can think of to store bulk handgun ammo.
Metal military surplus ammo cans, large coffee cans, empty peanut butter jars, you name it. If it will hold a lot of rounds and take up little space, I'm in.

If I ever get a man cave again, it will be ammo boxes on a shelf. I just like being able to take a quick inventory and be able to grab a box or three when I'm heading out to the range or woods.

Sticker on the can or index card inside with data and loose - can fit a lot more in the can that way

30 and 50 cal ammo cans with a loose card in the box indicating the quantity when full and the load data.

I use large clear plastic jugs
