best way to carry SKS ammo?

[Rifter]

So I have a type 56 Bandolier on the way here from china($10 shipped off ebay), but was wondering if there is a better way to take 200-300 rounds with you to the bush to shoot? I mean I guess the ammo crates are small enough could just take the whole crate I have a large SUV but I don't see myself putting 1200 rounds downrange in one session I was hoping you guys had some other ideas.

30 or 50 Cal ammo cans work great for me.

I have a small tupperware style box that I take with me, it will hold up to about 150 rounds, but i just take whatever I feel I will use for the day.

Get two or three friends with you, ya can blast away a crate in 2 hours or so pretty easily.

I did that up on Vancouver Island on a vacation, had to come back down Island to get more crates hehe.

Adjust the straps on the vests so you can wear 3 at once lol

As a matter of fact, the fat 50 cal ammo cans are on sale at Princess Auto for $24.99, the ones at my local store appeared to be new production, or at least the one I bought the other day appears that way.

I keep my ammo in my trunk. My shooting spot is maybe 20 feet from my car.

Mine usually isn't either but really who doesn't want to carry a few hundred rounds with them and run around in the woods, I mean afterall..

I have a shooting vest with two large molle pouches on the front. It holds a boat load of stripper clips for when I'm away from the truck at the range.

When I'm done shooting that caliber, I fill the pouches with x54 or shotshells and continue.

The bandoliers are great, but if you need more the 220rds I'd just bring the whole crate lol.

This.

They're so cheap, I bought a couple of them off evilBay for about $10 apiece... Lever Arms has them for $15 + shipping. Easy to grab them and throw them in the back of the car. Work best if the ammo is pre-loaded on stripper clips.

Was on the right track.

I've been thinking how great it'll be to ride a motorcycle with the bandolier pictured above strapped on top of my leathers with an sks slung over my back, lol. Should get some looks on the highway.

Use a hockey bag. Should be able to carry about 12,000 rounds.
