Bottom of the gun cabinet is full to the brim witb shotgun shells.... handgun ammo and .22 are condensed to a few ammo cans stashed away

My son uses a a lot of military ammo boxes, but at 67, I find that's too heavy for me. 50-100 round plastic boxes work well for my needs.

I keep all my ammo in metal 50 cal and 30 cal cans. Some in the closet and some in an olden wooden cabinet my wife found at Goodwill.

Great labels!

Damn, I've been putting my 357 on the right and the 38 on the left. I'll have to fix that.

All the reloads for shotshell is stored in the tubs you can get at Wally World loose. I know what they are. I use a lot of military ammo boxes for handgun ammo...loose also marked as to the load..Factory ammo I keep on shelves. Powder is mostly in the dry root cellar as I have an awful lot... Primers I will NOT put in military ammo cans as in case of a fire they can turn into nasty surprises for the fire people. I usually only have about 100M and they are kept in lockable plastic totes with wheels...the rimfire ammo is kept in the metal cabinets in the almost finished reloading etc room. I keep a lot of it also. Trying to remove the bulk of the ammo/reloading supplies out of the house though. We heat mostly with wood.

I do store the primers in a separate part of the house from the powder. I think on my next trip to Walmart or Target I am going to get a few plastic storage tubs for the primers. I don't like the idea of keeping them in .50 cal ammo cans.

Somebody needs to do some serious ammo shopping.

Great labels!

ammocanmagnets.com About a buck and quarter a piece when I bought them. I think they are $1.50 now.

The top self in china cabinet collapsed so moved to the bottom. I buy range ammo on sale and couple boxes of defense rounds . Guns are hid with EDC 9mm Shield out ready to go.

I could be wrong, but I wouldn't think you'd have any china left after the top shelf collapsed.

Awesome! Thanks for that!

I keep my gun cabinet in my bedroom closet which is chalk full of guns and magazines . My ammo is stored on shelf immediately above it. Im out of room. Not sure what to do. Just thought i could get some neat ideas from some of you!

 

[Bumpus13]

Some in cans next to the safe. More in other spots around the house.

 

[Hairtrigger]

I have some stored in ammo cans but for more common used ammo I use an old VHS storage shelf

Wow. I'm impressed. Looks like you keep your brass loaded up. I load and shoot, mostly.

How do you get your safe to stick to the wall like that?

In the gun room I re-purposed an old TV armoire by adding more 3/4" plywood shelving inside it and use that for 'next up' boxes of ammo, organized L to R for handgun calibers in top section - .22 to .45 Colt.

Lower section is rifle calibers - .223/5.56 to .45-70, plus shotgun specialty ammo such as turkey loads, buck and slugs in .410, 20 and 12.
That armoire probably outweighs the gun safes.

In garage is a wall of stacked .50 cal GI ammo cans with the main supply of ammo. When first getting a steel ammo can, I always clean it well and liberally spray the rubber gasket with spray silicone. All the cans are kept from contact with the concrete floor with a section of 2x10 lumber.

Would like to shelve the cans, but don't have room for the heavy duty shelving that would be needed.
