Whe it comes to brass clean, uncleaned, finalized, etc. Where do you store your ammo? Do you use those plastic 100 rnd boxes or do you use Military Ammo Cans? Specially when you have over a hundred rounds and different calibers and stuff.

I always seem to default to plastic zip lock bags in ammo cans. I have a little card in each bag that identifies the amount of firings and whether it has been annealed, trim length, shoulder length, wet tumbled, deburred, chamfered, crimp removed, etc.. Then I just load all the individuals bags into ammo cans and write the caliber on the outside of the bags.

If you do this, be sure to use freezer bags, they're much tougher and resist moisture diffusion better.

Edit: I can email you the brass details sheet if you want. It's excel format and prints out about 12 per page that I print on cardstock. They're about the size of a business card. IM if interested

Plastic coffee cans. Or ammo cans for larger quantities.

Cool. Thanks Gents!!!

Akro bins for my brass (on right in picture below).  Whatever operation I'm doing, I start with a full bin of brass, and as I process it, it goes into another bin.  Then I just update the label and put it on the new bin.  I use old business cards for labels.  I keep track of firings, and what's been done to the brass (cleaned, de-primed, sized, etc.) on the labels.

OUTSTANDING!!! I'm very jealous!!

I use old pretzel containers to hold brass, and slip a scrap of paper behind the label to identify it.  They are 18" or so tall and 6 or 8" wide and stack nicely.

Factory ammo stays in factory boxes with desiccant in surplus ammo cans.
Pistol reloads go into MTM cases 1000 rounds at a time.
Rifle reloads go on stripper clips with desiccant in surplus ammo cans.

.223 goes on stripper clips then into cardboards then into plastic bins with a lid.

Handgun ammo and .308win goes into MTM ammo boxes.

I don't keep more than about 1k of any caliber loaded at a time(someone breaks in they wont get much ammo)so this doesn't take up much space.

22lr bricks go in the safe to add weight.

I use a combination of things, cheap containers from wallyworld for the most part. I also reuse the original factory ammo boxes from before I started reloading. I just put current loading labels on them.

All great ideas!! Thanks fellas!!

That is a nice room for reloading, 351wsl.


I use loose ammo cans for bulk ammo.  Plastic boxes (MTM ones are nice) for precision rounds.  Ziploc bags in ammo cans for brass in various prep stages.
