Where do you store your ammo?

[Gump]

The gun safes full. Plastic tote? Basement?

[chevysoldier]

I don't disclose sensitive information such as this...

Get a couple .50cal ammo cans.

Make sure the seals are good.

Fill with ammo.

Bury in hillside.

Wait for 'Pockylyse.

[kawi kid]

50 cal ammo can beside safe.

[2talltim]

they are strategically placed in magazines around my house that only i and the dog knows where they are and he's not talkin "Duke?"

[C-bus]

In my guns...... what's left goes in a separate locked safe (all loaded guns also under combination locks).

[kawi kid]

I guess I forgot to mention all my guns have a loaded magazine with them

[vf1000ride]

Couple hundred in the safe in mags and on clips. Plenty more spread between sealed spam cans, 50cal cans and wooden crates.

[Gump]

i only keep my conceal gun loaded. guess i need some crates.

[ReconRat]

Ammo cans

1. It's sealed and keeps air out. Lasts longer.

2. It's sealed and keeps water/humidity out. Lasts longer.

3. It's sealed and is safe in a fire. In a fire the springy top will let gas out without the trauma of pieces of metal flying all around.

[Gump]

good point. I was thinking plastic totes from dollar general and stick them in the basement since a fire, the fire department would just flood the basement. i need to hit up a army navy store. I have one ammo can but it's full and not very big.

[kawi kid]

Cheaper than dirt has them for a reasonable price

[chevysoldier]

All my stuff is loaded too. My ammo is stored in metal boxes, not specifically ammo cans.

[gen3flygirl]

In the guns, a few rounds next to the guns, ammo cans under my bed, and some military grade 12 gauge 00 buckshot on one of those belt thingies hanging on the back of my door

I've found this to not be the case with some ammo. I now zip lock and spray the ammo with a light oil inside an ammo case to reduce corrosion. The boxes themselves get put in places where fire is least likely to reach them. Don't need a bunch of fire fighters running the other way while my house burns down.

Doesn't that affect the springs after a while?

[chevysoldier]

Loading a magazine while being shot at sucks.

I've heard both, that leaving them compressed hurts them. Or it's the loading, unloading and reloading of the springs that wears them out. I don't care to much. Like I said, an empty magazine does no good.

Modern mag spring are pretty tough. I have a couple dozen m16 mags for the M4's loaded at any given time. The failures in feeding that come from a "bad mag" are mote often the boby of the mag failing (broken weld on the back) or sticking follower. I store most ammo in .50 and .30 cal ammo cans like several other do here. My Federal Match for my .308 is mostly still in the origional boxes, not counting the 100 rounds or so in the drag bag and the rounds stowed on my rifle it's self.

[speedytriple]

I store mine in ammo cans with a desiccant pack to help keep the moisture out.
