GuestJune 21, 2022 at 11:45 pmI only store ammo like this if it’s the same grain, brand, and same lot # so you don’t get recall ammo mixed in with good ammo.

GuestJune 21, 2022 at 11:45 pmI too store ammo in bulk. I have a 35 gallon trash can I just dump any ammo I get into. It’s like a pharm party, you never know what you’re gonna get in a handful

GuestJune 21, 2022 at 11:45 pmI prefer the factory boxes. It’s easier for me to keep track of, and I can just grab however many boxes I want for any given range trip.

GuestJune 21, 2022 at 11:45 pmIf you leave it in factory packaging you can resell. Then your ammo reserves become an asset like gold. That’s what I tell my wife anyways…

GuestJune 21, 2022 at 11:45 pmI keep most of mine in the boxes but I’ll dump some in a can like that here and there. I just like running my hand through it because it gives me the warm and fuzzies 🤤

GuestJune 21, 2022 at 11:45 pmI just keep them in their original boxes. It tends to be better for long term storage. Had some steel case ammo rust due to a heat wave when stored loose.

GuestJune 21, 2022 at 11:45 pmIf I buy in bulk it gets stored in bulk. If I buy in boxes, it stays in boxes.

GuestJune 21, 2022 at 11:45 pmI typically bag them into 100rd bags if they’re loose like this. Helps me keep track of my numbers.

GuestJune 21, 2022 at 11:45 pmIs there any other way? Storing it OG boxes seems ok if you only have a a couple boxes but 1000rds or more requires the can.
And anyone who takes the ammo out of boxes and puts it in those plastics reload-individual spaces- boxes should seriously reconsider their life choices.

GuestJune 21, 2022 at 11:45 pmMost of mine is in the factory boxes, but I do keep a few cans full of 500-600 rounds of each caliber for range trips.
