Anyone else do this with ammo? (maybe im just OCD)

I cant stand the way they package these value packs:

 

So I re-organize into cheapo reloading boxes:

[Shane45 807]

Hehe no, when I buy factory amm it goes the opposite way. I open the box and dump it right in my ammo bag. Now that I'm back to reloading, it goes straight from bin to bag.

lol. I keep mine in the blue boxes. Only stuff that is in bulk is the 22LR.

 

Everything else, reloaded or not is in boxes.

If you ever take a High-energy course, like Tactical Response's Fighting Pistol, or Fighting Rifle, you will leran the utility of having the ammo loose. Shooting 12-1500 rounds over 2 days means you need to do your reloads FAST, and not play games with boxes and dividers..

[Shane45 807]

Precisely!

[Maksim 1,504]

Humn, just may have to have some loose.

[DirtyDigz 1,812]

Yeah, liking the blue box idea, it's a pain stacking up all my ammo in the safe when the boxes from different manufacturers are different sizes. Can I buy those boxes in bulk too?

I just got a bunch of them from Graf's.

I got mine from midway for like $1.50 a box

I prefer it loose.. so much so, that I tend to dump boxes into giant freezer zip lock bags. Altho if I'm just shooting a couple boxes at the range, I leave it in the cased box of 50 or 20 or whatever. I've never moved loose back to cased.

Like a couple people said, for anything that requires a lot of magazine stuffing, loose rounds are the way to go.

[Maksim 1,504]

I actually have a few different loads, so for that reason, I do keep them in boxes.

 

For Rifle... they are all in boxes, as I try to dial in specific loads.... although I do have a mag or two loaded for HD. For bolt actions, they are all in boxes.

Same, I purchase by the case/can and promptly empty out each individual wrap/package and store all the loose rounds in steel ammo boxes.

I can see myself doing the same thing

[bbk 188]

I could see the benefit of organizing into boxes if someone is testing out specific loads (for benchmarking, etc). I personally put everything in freezer bags of 150-- old habit.

[tony357 386]

Im guilty of the freezer bag thing also, even with reloads..

I am self admittedly OCD when it comes to ammo. All of my ammo is stacked neatly in a can, and the can gets stenciled with the caliber on it. Each can's seal gets a light rubbing of DOW 111 on it and a desiccant bag tossed in. Everyone who shoots with me laughs at me!

I wouldn't laugh. I'm too envious. Like the setup.

 

I too, use the plastic box setup.

Freak!

 

Just kidding. I'm also impressed. I might actually copy the stencil idea but I lack the patience to neatly stack the ammo. I'd probably get about 1/3 into the can before getting frustrated and dumping the rest in.

[Krdshrk 3,877]

Holy crap that is a lot of work to do, lol.

 

I left mine in the paper wrappings (7.62x54R)
