Need to buy some plastic ammo boxes

I looked all over. Barry's had the best prices and free shipping. Ordered some, hope they get here next week. I like having my ammo in 50 round boxes. Makes it easy to see how much I have and to grab a couple of boxes when I go to the range. Thanks every one for the suggestions, Waldo


I have bought enough of the Berrys plated bullets, I use the black plastic boxes that they came in. I also have some of their 50 rd boxes and lots of the MTM's they all work.
 
I generaly buy 500 rounds loose in an ammo can. I transfer the loose rounds to freezer bags in 100 round packs. I write the rounds particulars on blank business cards and put them in the bag. Then back into the ammo can.

small plastic folgers can holds 150 45 acp...about the same with 38...I always take more ammo than I shoot when I go to the range...
 
I get mine from Midway. I wait till they have a sale on so-called 'seconds' and buy a case of 10 or 12 , though i never could find any faults. Certainly none that affect function.
 
For a long time I used 50 and 100 rd plastic flip top boxes to keep my handloads in. I found that I was loading 500 to 1000 rounds of a particular load at a time so this was a lot of work and the boxes add up in cost and take up some space as well. Berry's has a plastic version of the .30cal ammo can that I started using to just bulk load the finished ammo in, I think about 500 rds of .45 fits with some room to spare. I label the box on the outside by caliber and bullet type and leave a card inside with all the details such as powder type and weight. I have found this to be easier to work with for storage and in use, I just grab the boxes I need and go to the range. I don't usually shoot all the ammo in one trip but I try to reload what gets fired to replenish the supply as quickly as I can.
 
I am going to end up with about 2000 rounds of 158 grain LSWC reloads, that I have no boxes for. I have been looking around and found a website called eguns.com. It seems to have the best price. I have never heard of them before. has anybody here had any experience with them? Any other ideas about where to get boxes? Thanks, Waldo

Get a 50 Cal USGI ammo can and partition the can with thin pieces plywood (1/4") one side for the live ammo and the other side for the empties. I usually go down to an army surplus store and pick it up for 5 bucks. 2000 rounds will take 20 plastic boxes and will cost you----well do the math. Also, some plastic cases if dropped will actually crack and shatter. Ammo cans also have a rubber seal and when I store my ammo for the longterm, I would throw in a couple of pieces of VCI paper and/or throw in a dessicant to absorb the moisture.
