Do you have "Gun Bearers" to carry your stuff to the range?
Now that it's black is it "Tactical"?

hmmmm...karma time??
There will be some Karma coming, I just want to make sure everything is perfect first. They also need some sort of catchy name, Porcupine?? Once I'm satisfied with every last detail then I will karma a couple of them.

No I can't be tacticool because it's not made from plastic. But the flat black seemed like a simple solution for a way to cover scratches and wear, everybody has a can of black spray paint in their garage.
As for the gun bearers, Bwana and Kingozi live in a shack out back.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMM....... Ammo pr0n! 
You got that right. I thought I was pretty cool loading up a plastic ammo can with pint bags.
Looks like a neat project. I have no shame either, I'll steal a good idea!

My problem is that I'm as short on the tools and skills as I am shame....

I bet if I sprayed the freezer bags black I'd like them more.

If you can figure out a way to attach that to your belt I bet some USPSA revolver shooters would be interested.

thing of beauty and functional too.

How about an aluminum base with the hex aluminum dowels and handle to fit in the belted can! This is going to get expensive, put me in line for the half size!

Put one board in center with a finger hole in it.

How about countersunk holes at the narrow edges burying Manrope Knots
using rope for a handle? Maybe combine with a leather handle

I liked your design so well that I copied the 420 round version for myself. Made it on my cnc router. Generating the gcode took longer than it would have to make the rack the old fashioned way but to make the next one will take very little time

I don't mean to be picky, but I'd think the bullets should go nose down, so when you pick one up it is ready to drop in the cylinder.

I too swiped the design. Thanks to the OP.
I used a t-handle type cleaning rod for the lift handle. The ones that pivot and slide back down onto the shaft. Used just the handle piece, with a screw up through the base. If I lift the entire contents, it does rock a little, but it still works.
This really minimized the handle space, and was able to get 18 wood rods, for 540 rounds. I do not lift the carrier out much, mostly just grab from the can, but the handle is holding. And I have room for my moon tool on the side.
I usually stack my dowels noses down, with the last being nose up, to indicate what is on that dowel, if mixing bullet shapes. And if you need to gain a little room on the stack, you can pair two clips, nose to nose and nestle the bullet noses between the two to compress the stack a little.
One big word of caution, if you make one of these and fill it up, you can really blow through the ammo FAST, if you do not exercise self control.

I see a project coming up. I need one of these. Nice idea and nice work!
You should consider offering a few "kits" to the membership here.
I know I would buy one, if the price is right !
Me too! I would like one that fits the .30 cal can. It's a small market but you could make a couple bucks selling them

Looks like this necrothread has gained some legs again. I have made a couple racks that fit in the center, removable bag of the Midway Competition range bag...
Nine post with three clips per post gives me 162 rounds of .40 S&W or .45 ACP. And can be used for .38 Super also yielding 216 rounds. One rack is usually sufficient for must club level matches. If it is a large match, I can fit two racks to double my capacity. No fancy handle (lift out the whole center bag), just some 1/2" dowels glued into a base block.
Do you think there would be a market for these types of racks made from aluminum? What would you be willing to pay?
Adios.
