Bulk bullet storage

[Leo_B]

Do you guys have any storage system for bulk bullets other than the box they arrive in? I've got one of these Berry's arriving later today. I'll have Sierra 45gr. .22 Hornet, Missouri Bullet Co 73gr coated .32 and Sierra 90gr JHP .32 bullets. I figured it would be easy enough to differentiate that once I open a box I could put the unused portion in there. If I ever advance to both 40gr and 45gr Hornet bullets maybe not but those 3 should be obvious even to me. Anyway, just curious if anyone has systems other than the boxes they ship in?

i have used big pill bottles and they worked good for say 22 cal . But i really like glass jars that food like pickles ect come in.. best thing to me is you can see whats in there. the clear plastic peanut butter jars are my faves. they dont break if i drop them- at least not so far. i use the plastic containers coffee comes in to.

Zip lock bags. Vac. and they will last forever. Tommy Mc Easy to label too

When I sort my bullets I put them into a freezer zip lock bag with a tag with the measurement info, then put the bags back into the 500 round box they were packed in by the manufacturer (which I also label for outside reference).

50 cal ammo cans. 30 cal are too small, fat 50’s or bigger are too heavy. I leave the bullets in their boxes when I can and put the boxes in the ammo cans. The ammo cans are numbered and stack nicely. My “OCD” causes me to keep a spreadsheet of my inventory so I can go right to the appropriate can. I have been called obsessive, but am I obsessive enough???

i have used the bags - i like the jars better or a plastic bucket if i really need some space. each to their own though— thanks

Forgot to add the link. This is what arrives sometime today. Come with dividers so each compartment can be divided into 3 sections if desired.

I'm down with the Zip-Loc bag with label or box flap enclosed. They'll mold into whatever type of box or bin you might have and pretty much double the quantity you can stow into most spaces. jd

I like these for bulk ammo, they don’t get too heavy when full.

I like the 4 mil. heavy-duty zip lock bags bought on amazon for bulk bullets, gun parts, tumbler media, brass, etc.

So many ways this could go wrong.

Back in the day I stored too many things in baby food jars. Back in the
day, I was occasionally reaching for a broom to clean up broken glass
and the items in it. I don't miss "back in the day". Normally, I just use
small plastic freezer tubs with a note for inside, and marked with a sharpie
on the lid. Sorted primers go back into the original trays.

Plastic coffee containers or Tupperware tubs.
Labels on the outside.

I use these: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Anvil-1...in-Small-Parts-Organizer-THD2015-06/321084128
make the compartments whatever size you need for the number of bullets in a group.

I've been looking at this, thinking possibly bullets and empty brass both.

I try to store them in the necks of the cartridge I will load them in, till then I find the factory box to be just fine.

What is wrong with the box the bullets came in??

 

[mgunderson]

If you can carry it..... does it qualify as bulk? Asking for a friend.
