    I load all mags at home before I leave. I bring lots more ammo and keep them all locked up in a giant box. I reload at the range when I unload all of them. Shooting is fun and reloading sucks!

    I use the MTM ammo boxes. For most of my handguns and rifles I have enough clips that if I load them all up I'm good for a day at the range. For the rest, like my single-shot BA rifles, I use MTM ammo boxes and pack them into a 50 cal ammo tin.

    For my 10/22's I love my H3CR range kit, which was designed and manufactured for 22 lr RIFLES and says right on it "NOT FOR USE WITH THE RUGER CHARGER PISTOL" and my GSG 110 rd drums which ALSO say on them "Designed for Ruger 10/22 RIFLES" and strangely they also say "Do not use Waxed Ammunition" but the darn things jam like crazy if I load them with anything that ISN"T waxed. I tried to load one up with thunderbolts and I couldn't even manage to get it loaded, it kept getting stuck. Then I loaded it with waxed CCI blazer and it loaded right up with zero difficulty, go figure.

    Believe it or not, many years ago I got flack from a range officer/instructor about having bulk pistol ammo in a plastic container. He told me it was unsafe to have it lose like that as the bullet could hit a primer on the bottom of another ctg.....

    Can't preload clips at home, club doesn't allow it.

    When I get a case of 1000 rounds, I dump them all into a regular metal ammo can at home so I don't cart excess packaging to the range. Especially if you open a spam can of surplus. Once opened, the spam can is not a good container. Open up spam can, pull apart whatever packaging they have for the individual rounds (often its just 20 rounds wrapped in some paper) and dump into the ammo can.

    Canada Ammo has a good deal on brand new ammo cans of various sizes. One 750 round spam can of 7.62x39 fits neatly into the standard 50 cal ammo can

    Your club doesn't allow you to bring loaded magazines to the range? That is truly bizarre.

    Once I finish shooting for the day, I reload all my mags at the range, bring them home and I have fresh loaded mags when I arrive next time.

    The board of directors is pretty fuddy. I'm trying to get them to see that we don't need any more rules than the CFO demands.
