Why not just leave it in the original boxes?

 

My original boxes are bricks, little hard to stick a brick down my pants..

 

a brick of rounds...in a bag maybe?

 

snuff or dig cans are easier to carry. storage isn't a problem either. if I go hunting, which I don't, I leave a couple cans in the case.

 

Mine stay in their original boxes paper or plastic and set on shelves in my basement gun room that is air conditioned in summer/ forced air heat in winter. I have never had a problem with ammonia going bad, nor reloading components with some being stored for over ten years.
ive never considered a box or 2 in my pocket a problem when hunting a problem, or dragging a brick in the trunk of my car to the range either

 

Wait a minute ... snuff cans are for wax worms (bait). Can't use 'em for ammo!

 

humm, never thought of that. I'll keep that in mind, thanks

 

I use medication screw cap wide neck small plastic vials. I usually put a desicant bag inside also. Approximatly 10-15 rounds 22 mag fit inside. I put a piece of cardboard on the inside so that it doesn't rattle too much. Typically enough for an afternoon / evening hunt.

 

I have military style ammo cans and plastic MTM "ammo crates" with .22 ammo in them.

Looks like this, they show shotgun ammo, but 22 bulk and bricks fit well.

When I go to the range, the range bag holds a bulk pack box; and a few 50 round boxes of target or subsonic ammo.

I use medication screw cap wide neck small plastic vials.

I used to get a medication in a large pill bottle, about 2" wide by 6" tall. I have a few of those bottles in my truck, with ammo out of bulk packs in them. Holds 150-200 rounds, or can also hold about 15 .223 cartridges.

 

I bought one of those Marble Arms Catch 22 storage/dispensers. Kind of neat for taking 50 rounds of bulk ammo and loading it into this dispenser so you can dispense in multiples of 5 at a time. For a tube fed rifle like a Marlin 60, you can pour the ammo directly into the tube 5 rounds at a time. It has a belt clip so you could carry it with you into the field.

 

I hadn't seen that before...cool

I use a particular rifle in a couple different leagues and i've done a couple NRL shoots with it also. I don't take a lot of rounds on those nights, as I typically only need about 30 for the actual matches. In that particular rifle I am using Aguila. Aguila comes in 50 round boxes with a plastic holder for the rounds, or it comes in bulk. What I did was take the stickers off a plastic CCI 100 round sleeve and used grey velcro ties doubled up to slide over the plastic case longways, and wrote what ammo it is, and what rifle its for on it. I refill the sleeve as needed.

I am loading 5 rounds in each mag anyway, so using the sleeve, makes it easy to dispense 5 rounds, then load the mag & repeat

The .30 ammo cans from military surplus store work really well.

 

Surplus ammo can are your best investment. my ammo survived two weeks under water after Katrina.

 

Can be difficult to track individual lots.

 

Mostly .50 and a few .30 caliber ammo cans with desiccant packs keep my ammo in perfect condition. 50 years ago, it started with one old .50 cal can that held ammo for all of my guns. It survived a flooded cellar once and all of the ammo inside was still dry. Only had a 12 gauge, .30-30, and .38 special until around 2014 when I discovered the 03 FFL(C&R) license.

Cans have been added along the way as needed resulting in a nice stockpile of everything I shoot. Ammo varies from old surplus to recently manufactured and I have not experienced any degradation even after decades of storage.

When a sealed case of factory ammo is opened, it goes into cans.

I keep a spreadsheet of my ammunition inventory that allows for easy tracking of lot numbers. They can be extremely versatile if you spend a little time setting them up the way you like.

 

i inherited a small ammo can about 8" x 4" x 8" that i use , holds a fair amount of ammo and carrys easy with is handle -= looks just like the regular military anno cans but small , i think he kept tools in it when he was in the navy [submariner]

Nothing better than a passed down ! Don't laugh, but I use my empty dip cans. I can get 45 rounds in em and it's easier to carry when I go to the range, just take what I think I'm gonna use. I store all my cans in a 4 pistol case which hold bout a hundred cans. When the cans get empty, I just toss em in the trash..

 

Dip cans, prescription pill bottles, 35mm film canisters, etc., all work dandy for pocket .22lr ammo carry when woods walking.

 

The reason for "dip cans" is because I have plenty of em. I can get about 46 rounds in each. The folks at the range kinda chuckle at me. Thanks for replying..

 

Factory "dip cans" from the past.

 

Wonder how many people laugh at the idea of carrying ammo in these ? I did at first, but not no more. When I finish my dip, I just wipe out my can and set it aside. When I'm done with it at the range, I toss in the trash.
Thanks for replying

 

welcome

do what you need to do that works for you at this moment in time.

good luck

 

most of my cans hold Snuff the stuff that sits between my lip and my gum when I go shooting at targets the ammo sits in original boxes, when small game hunting if it's a repeater the Ammo sits in the Magazine if its a single shot I carry the loose rounds in a pocket. no fumbleing to open a box.
I store all my Snuff in those handy cans

 

Tic-tac-tical for trouser pockets...

6 rounds ready to go.

 

Never thought about this ! Thanks for the idea

 

Good idea, and it should leave your barrel's breath minty fresh. 😀

They're called Tic Tac Travels... I didn't know them before, first saw some in a Center Shocks bucket assortment at a kid's birthday party my elder son was invited to recently.

I took some of the empty boxes lying around with me, to find out what they could be good for... and quickly realized they're perfect for 6 rds of .22 lr.

Could be fine for small game hunters using single shot rifles, to carry a small amount of ammo safely in their trouser or jacket pockets, as the bullet grease or wax tends to collect dust, sand and dirt there. Protected by the little box, the grease also won't get off the bullets inside the pocket.

They should also be great for shooters using 6-shot revolvers, as these tiny boxes aren't as bulky as a speedloader.
