I have several military ammo cans, 50 cal. I am curious about storing loose, bulk ammo (pistol and rifle) in the cans. Do you line the can with anything before putting the ammo in, or just put ammo in the can "as is"? I've always stored factory ammo in their respective boxes and reloads in MTM plastic 50/100 round boxes. But this doesn't allow as much storage, due to the size of the containers; as storing loose rounds.

I know lots of folks store their ammo loose in the cans, just looking for suggestions on how to do so-correctly, without damaging my ammo. Appreciate any help/info.

And BTW, Happy New Year to my Forum family
