I usually try to buy enough at once to fill an ammo can. I cut the information off of one box from that lot and lay on top so I know exactly what it is later. I also started writing how much I paid for it on the back so when I open a can from 5 years ago I can cry at how cheap it was. 😂
Agreed. I do keep same lot of ammunition in the same ammo cans. Specifically the same brand all together. Yes, it makes me need more ammo cans, but I want to erase any confusion if that lot of ammo is having issues firing or whatever. I do keep a separate can that I use for the range with multiple calibers(separated of course) as well.
I would suggest buying ammo cans from Harbor Freight over Walmart. Walmart cans are made in China and the steel is thinner and bends easily. The Harbor Freight cans are made in Vietnam and used better steel and are overall more sturdy. Try to bend the sidewalls in the store you'll see what I'm saying. Half the cans at Walmart are usually already bent up.
I've started dumping loose rounds into a .50 can recently for bulk storage. A 12 pack beer/soda box fits the can for a little added insulation with some trimming. I'll leave what's already boxed alone , easier to barter or resell if it ever came down to it.
If I have loose bulk, I tear the lid off if the box, and stick in in the can. Then you have that info. I also write the date on it so I know how old it is
Ya, i can't store all my ammo inside the house. It all goes inside the shop in ammo lockers that I've sealed up. I also buy ammo in bulk, so they are the same lot numbers. For instance, 2000 rounds of 124gr 9mm fits in a 50 cal ammo can. Throw a few desiccant packs in with the ammo tag with lot number, date, and then seal it up. Label the can and stack it. The same goes for all other calibers. Range stuff is in 30 cal cans and same kinda process with all being same lot numbers. I also only use milsurp metal cans.
@@shaunzimmerman661 I Won't say you're wrong!!! But I will ask how you know that? Like proof and facts wise! Because that's something I want to know and or do some testing on!
I think the American Surplus cans are made out of good steel and are great. But around where I'm living people sell them like they're collectables. I ain't paying $35 for a beat up can that needs a new gasket. HF cans gett'er done just fine. And they're better than plastic. Doin the the best we can with what we got to work with.

@@Mr_New_Vegas_685 🤣 heard that
This is what I do also, 2000 rounds of 124 gr and same lot number. Add the tag and a couple desiccant packs and close it up. Label and stack.

@@Lightning77AThiker agreed!
@GunActivities365 * mainly the resell part is for next of kin

Same! I also write the price I paid because I like to depress myself later.😂
@@jquest816 good idea.

Like you said, there is no wrong way to store ammo as long as it stays in a can. Find a routine and get organized.
@@frawdulent it 100% dosen't have to be in a can. I just prefer that!
Got to be careful vacuum Sealing green tips as well, I've had them poke holes because they are so pointy
Looks like we're on the same page 👍
How often do you throw those silica packs in the oven to dehydrate them or swap them out?
@@mrpac-mann a lot of them don't get opened much so alot of them just get left alone.
surplus cans are better than chinese copies sold at walmart or harbor freight!
