How do you store your ammo?

[spencer60]

FWIW, beware of the 'new' large MTM plastic ammo cans. Their design sucks and the handles can rip loose if you have anything over 30 lbs or so in them. I had one let loose on me this past weekend while moving some 9mm, and it came dang close to breaking a foot.

I have 3 of those cases. Each is loaded with a minimum of 1000 9mm, 45acp or 40 caliber. Two of them have around 1500 rounds and I've had no issue with them other than the potential Hernia from lifting one.

I have an uncountable amount of ammo I will never ever use in plastic ammo cans inside plastic containers in my bedroom closet. Scattered around under blankets so my wife doesn't look at it and make my life less fun. Same with my guns. I'm absurdly disorganised. And I don't even drink anymore.

Hmm haven't thought of that. I guess Id better start a friends and family pile so they don't dip into the reserves. We can't be having that.

If things get really bad I have a smoke house for my friends.

ummmmmmmmmmm
a. Live friends?
b. Food supply?
If your answer is b. we have just become non-friends
And just what exactly is your definition of "really bad"?

I have 6 - 25mm cans and 4 - 50 cal cans in a wooden crate. There is no way 2 people can move that crate in a hurry without a forklift. I would keep them in smaller cans if I had to do it over again.... 30 and 50 cal cans are perfect. Make sure they have a good seal and put desiccant packs in there. I seal my reloads in 50 round packs with my foodsaver and 1 small desiccant pack.
