I cant stand the way they package these value packs:

 

So I re-organize into cheapo reloading boxes:

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.

 

Shane

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..

Precisely!

Humn, just may have to have some loose.

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

*Dumps ammo back into bulk 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.

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

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.

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.

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

 

I left mine in the paper wrappings (7.62x54R)
