Reload storage

[agilent_one]

Just curious as to what folks here use to store their bulk pistol reloads. I'm currently storing mine in old plastic 4L milk jugs, but they really don't "stack" as well as I'd like. I would prefer for the containers to be water/weatherproof. Any thoughts.

100 round pistol boxes are around $5.00 a piece. I have a bunch of them to store my reloads.

Try plastic coffee cans.

Thanks for the ideas fellas', I'm looking at something a little bigger - say 500 to 1K rounds worth.

...Bigger coffee cans..DOH...Depending on what caliber u are loading you have numerous options. 1K 9mm or 32acp take a heckuva lot less room than 44mag

Dollar store food containers, the flat kind with a lid that snaps in place. They easily hold 200 rounds of .45 ACP

Here a radical idea: How about ammo cans?

You can even simply modify them for a lock if you wish.

4L ice cream pail is weather resistant and stackable.

Empty plastic diswasher detergent pails from Costco, I just make sure my wife keeps getting the same ones.

They are heavy plastic pails and they stack very well. I use them to store empty brass, about 2k of 40 S&W brass per pail.

For bulk loaded ammo, a 30 cal ammo can works well.

Ditto on the 30 Cal ammo can they are not hard to come by and require no mods to store ammo
That refit with the lock is a great idea

 

[prosper]

Yep, ammo can. Stack well, easy to find, cheap (princess auto!), and they look cool.

Spraying the inside with spray truck-bed liner woeks well, too

+1 for ammo cans.

my wife used to work bulk foods,she brought me some buckets that Ganongs packed thier chicken bones in probably hold around 4-5000 40 rounds are sturdy ,good handle ,clear so you can see what's inside and smell good too even after they are washed out.
