FYI for 22LR

[MrBrian]

I did not come up with this idea, I saw a guy do this on a 10/22 Takedown video...  I just thought I'd share this clever way of storing/carrying 22lr ammo.  I always hated the flimsy cardboard boxes and every time I carry a box in my range bag, I have loose rounds all over the place.  So I invested in a small pelican case.  And just FYI, this one holds approximately 400 rounds. Plus, throw in a small silica gel pack and it keeps out the moisture.

Good idea.  Better than the tupperware bowl I stole out of the kitchen for mine.

I use an ammo can?

Ammo can?  That's a lot to take to the range with you.

My secret has been a cool whip bowl. They are great for cereal too.

That Pelican case looks pretty nifty. I've been using a hard plastic pint-size ice cream container. BiLo sells this fancy ice cream (wife says it's gelato) in a sturdy screw top container that holds a 550 count brick of .22 perfectly. The gelato ain't too shabby either...

I'm totally stealing the idea. Thanks! :up:

 

I took a look at some of Otterbox dry cases and they could serve the same purpose while being a bit cheaper. Going to do some more Googling and see if I can find cheaper prices on the Pelican case and Otterbox cases.

Woo! I have one if those sitting around that I've been trying to find a use for. It used to hold my phone while in the river but my current phone doesn't fit. Looks like it has a purpose again.

I like it!  I refill the 100 round CCI plastic boxes sometimes, and for sure right now to limit consumption, but this is a nice setup.

I've been using a Country Time Lemonade container for years. It holds 550 rounds and has a deep lid you can use to load from. The lid screws on so you don't have to worry about it popping off and it is made of pretty thick plastic.


My FIL was visiting from Brazil and I guess he was bored one day and decided to go prowl around in a '68 F-100 that's been sitting in my back yard for about 12 years. He found a container like that one with about 400 Remington .22s in it. I figure that ammo was in there about 13 years in the heat, cold and humidity. I took it to the range and it all fired through my P-22.

I re-use the Remington Target 100rd plastic boxes as well as other plastic boxes with the sliding lid.  It allows you to know exactly how much ammo you are taking with you, and how much you have used.  I also like that the sliding lid lets you choose 5, 10, or 15 rds to dump in your hand without having to count them out.

 

I peel off the original label and use a Sharpie to write what ammo is now in it.

I use a old folding sunglasses case when I go hunting. It has a zipper to close it up. Also it being made of leather stops them from rattling around like they do in the box.

 

It holds about 100 rounds. Has worked well for for years.

Mine looks just like this only without the cool Michael Jackson logo. Lost the glasses long ago but the case works great and very quiet.

[Guest sL1k]

the berrys bullet boxes work well too. you can fit around 500 in them

[SlapChopDonkey]

Great ideas! I just use a ziplock bag reinforced with duct tape.

[Guest sL1k]

I wanna know where I can get some folding Michael Jackson glasses now. :D

Great minds think alike!!!

For this is what I use.
