cheap effective ammo box - ideas?

[Viper26]

I've got ammo cans for long term storage, but for going to the range I use the plasitc ammo boxes (100 size). They're only about $3 each and last forever. I can fit 5 or 6 into my range bag if I'm planning to shoot several guns.

edit:
The other nice thing is that with all the rounds "head down" I can check the primers on my reloads very quickly.

.50cal surplus cans. Drop about 900 rounds of 5.56mm on the table and get to work. Only way to bring ammo to the range without having to worry about weight.

Can buy a .50cal can for $5 on sale at Princess Auto.

Im just going to be using standard military surplus ammo cans , all the seals are intact , barley any marks they look brand new , and there waterproof to boot , not to worried about the weight . they usually go on sale to for around 14 bucks a pop maybe lower if there damaged visually .

Military ammo cans are the best idea and the strongest and lockable as well!

I use a large ammo box for storage at home. Some times I take the whole thing to the range but it is way too heavy.

When I shoot pistol or .22 I use an old backpack that has lots of pockets for eye, ears, ammo etc...

When I shoot trap I just walk around with the case of 100. I feel a little ghetto beside all these guys that have fancy shooting jackets and hip packs for the spent hulls. I pick mine up with a grocery bag. Might have to get some class soon so I fit in with the club.

I like plastic for no-rust and easy cleaning reasons.

I pack my reloads into those plastic ammo holders the ammo is sold in, then store them in ammo cans. When going to the range, I put 2 holders into a small cigar box, fits perfectly.
