How do you store your ammo?
>Bottom Right - 2600 rounds of ZQI M855
>Mid Right - 1000 Rounds of Wolf Gold 223
>Top Right - 900~ Rounds of Monarch Steel 223 & around 1200 Rounds of American Eagle Brass 223
>Bottom Left - 3000ish rounds of 9mm FMJ 115 and 124gr
>Mid Left - 556 and 9mm defense rounds
> Top Left - Mags
I don't have as much as most people, but its a start
I have a big black garbage bag I throw all my rounds into.
>>29385031
Did I find you?
>>29385020
invest in some ammo cans. They look cool, and insure they will stay safe from humidity and something like a flood destroying your ammo.
>>29385020
Plano ammo cans. How many cents per round was the ZQI?
>>29385073
29c per round, I purchased them pretty recently. I figured I would stock up before the elections
If you are a college student, you probably have access to Office 2013 update, along with a download for Microsoft access.
If you are like me, and are autistic enough to track purchase history/how much you actually shoot per year/tracking how much you shoot on a gun/cost tracking etc.
Get yourself Microsoft Access and start playing around with it out download one of the inventory templates.
Initially, alot harder to set up than an Excel spreadsheet, but in the long run will be real simple and easier to view your data in a sensible way
>>29385020
I store my Shooting ammo all in Metal 50 cal and 30 cal cans. I keep my collectable 30-06 in an old WW1 1500 round crate. and the rest of my collectable ammo is in some plastic bins for now until I get some shelfs
>>29385219
>He thinks people pay for Microsoft Office
No but really, I don't track how much I shoot or how much it costed, I just track how much I currently own
What use is the other data?
I keep it in 30 and 50 cal ammo cans. Mostly loose cuz I reload most of my ammo but some of it is boxed. I also save desiccants when I can and put them in the cans.
Currently have them in a 6 foot tall cabinet. Shelves are pretty flimsy so I might make tougher ones. Or else I'll find a different place to store them, maybe get something I can lock. Idk.
>>29385273
It's kind of important to keep track of how much money you contribute to gun culture. Or at least, it's important to me.
Guns are fun to shoot once in a while, but every dollar you spend on ammo, is a dollar the NRA can use to kill children and teens. Moderation is the key I think. It's the same with fireworks. They're fun for one day of the year, but we don't do that shit every day because it causes global warming and devastates the planet. Christian fundies will pretend that the fourth of July isn't one of the hottest days of the year though.
So yeah. Have fun, but do it responsibly.

AAHAHAHAHAHHA
Is it a smart idea to vacuum seal ammunition?
>>29385502
Some guy made a thread like a month ago about vacuume sealing some ammo for some SHTF stash and people went fucking crazy over it. So...maybe?
here you go Mr. ATF :^)
>>29385528
Dude that looks comfy as fuck.
>>29385473
I have like 250 rounds max for my AR. That's just because I just got 100 as a present.
>>29385545
thanks bro. it is way better now but I don't have a more recent pic. there is a butcher block work bench where the fridge is now
>>29385521
Good crazy or bad crazy? I just want to preserve ammunition in cardboard boxes for extended periods of time.
>>29385645
Honestly a little of both
>>29385044
not OP, but can you recommend which ammo cans/where to buy? Steel would be tits but the quality/price is all over the place.
>>29385656
I can see myself vacuum sealing a bunch of different guns and ammunition, placing them in a barrel, and burying them for when I need them.
>>29385659
I get most of my 50 cans from Sportsmens Warehouse. They sell them for like 17 bucks
>>29385020
are you like a prepper or just live in the south and have an aversion to government?
>>29385695
Hola Newfriend
>>29385273
Access isn't included in most Office packages.
So yeah, torrent it otherwise.
As far as other data...
I like to track malfunctions and ammo type, costs are nice to keep track of-- prices going up? Staying the same? Dropping? etc.
May not be of any particular use at any given time, but there may be instances it can be helpful to look back and see something you are curious about.
>>29385659
AIM gets them from time to time for cheap that is where I got all mine in this pic >>29385528

>having some fancy shelves to store your ammo
>tfw I used to look at these threads jealous of all of /k/'s ammo
>tfw I'm at 60k rounds now.
Anyone else here a stockpiling faggot?
>>29385020
pleb tier. get into reloading if this is all you can afford. also, ammo cans you fucktard.
>>29385083
"stock up" he says. nice collection, warlord.... your stock wouldn't last my summer.
>>29385699
Sorry if this is a common sight, I'm not judging, hell I'm even jealous.
>>29385798
>.223
>Not using 556
I usually like to arrange it in symmetric arrays.
>>29385878
I have 10x that stashed out of sight under my computer desk. this is entry-level shit.
>>29385678
>>29385770
Cool, I'll check them out. Fat fifties, M2's, or 30 cal cans?
>>29385875
You shoot 2-4k rounds a month?
>>29385020
Why are your magazines empty?
>>29385906
matches and practice. so, yes. during the warm months I shoot a metric fuck-ton.
>>29385798
full mags. this guy gets it. fuck the haters.
>>29385897
The M2 50 Cans
>>29385906
I'd show you my loaded cartridge collection, but you'd probably be more impressed my the amount of empty cases I've got in various stages of prep for reloading.
>>29385886
>What is hornady vs. plinking ammo
>>29385897
it depends on what you are going to do with them man. I use the fat 50's for bulk storage because fully loaded they are too heavy to move around but they hold a ton. then I use them to fill the m2's that I bring back to my range because they are a lot lighter. .30's are nice if you just want to shoot one gun and put a couple mags in and go. so I am having a fan of some of each but it is up to you bruv.
>>29385798
You really should invest in a few ammo cans or other sealable containers. Anything less is truly outrageous.
>>29385961
u trigger'd m80?
>>29385020
Here's my setup...
>>29386002
That's so hot. Are the clips loaded?
usually just in plastic containers
Got one of these for more of a ready to go setup.

>>29386013
>glips
>>29385473
>>29386013
I have dozens of loaded clips as well as several loaded magazines, but no not all of those magazines are loaded. Those shelves at the bottom could support a tank, but the racks holding the mags are not as sturdy.
>>29385020
I guess I'll post ITT
Mags were on sale, too good of a price to pass on. So I bought 100...
>>29386042
what's the point in having mags if they're empty? they don't work without the batteries, bro.
>>29386014
What's wrong with a bag for your mags?
>>29386061
when the ban happens you will be rich
>>29386067
more useful/professional looking for people who compete. if you're a plinker, casual shooter, or fudd it's way better to show everyone how much money you just spent at the pro shop by displaying your recently opened ammo package at your shooting station.
>>29386061
>I need them for work
>I do load them. Easier to bring all the ammo I plan on shooting in mags than to load at wherever I'm going.
>I like having a shitroad of ammo stored in mags in case of the habbening
>pre-election. Didn't have the funds to buy anything before the last election. Learned my lesson.
>>29385528
>tfw you have a comfy corner
>>29386067
Nothing at all. I have a go bag too, but generally I take one handgun and the AR and this is just nicer to deal with.
>>29386083
negative. you think I'm selling a fucking thing I have? dat's my shit bro.
>>29386083
This. I'm sitting on 450 magpuls.
Price can't go anywhere but up from what I bought them at. If election goes bad, at least I'll have ~40k to ease the pain.
>>29386061
#1 - I said I have several loaded magazines.
#2 - I said I have dozens of loaded clips (this makes for quick magazine loading)
#3 - Why the fuck would I keep 200 magazines loaded at all times?
#4 - Fuck off and worry about your own shit
>>29386094
well don't post 'em till ya load 'em, broseph.
>>29386105
im saying thats a reason to buy mags
>>29386090
>more useful
How in God's name is there any difference between a fucking small duffle bag full of loaded mags and that thing?
>>29386113
suck it. empty mags stored with full mags is a soup-sandwich waiting to fuck you in the mouth.
>>29386121
I do that to. when I have a duffle i find myself rifling through it to find which mags are full and which are half full or empty. turn it over in the can when its empty, problem solved. douche.
>>29386121
If you mix mags (Glock CZ SIG) then you can easily separate them. Also, it's nice if you are mixing ammo in an AR, as you can see what mag is loaded with what.
It's also 25 bucks, which is 2 boxes of 9mm and a Dr pepper.
>>29386126
Reading comprehension is not wrong strong suit, eh kid?
>>29386126
Not him, but I don't see you posting any pics of your setup?
>>29385941
>>29385956
Thanks for the advice anons.
>>29385473
>>29385473
This is the exact mentality I would expect from someone who uses excel to catalog their ammunition.
>>29387770
Gonna +1 that 50's sick to move when loaded with ammo.
30's are just the right weight desu
I've got 24 boxes of wolf gold (each) in two of my 30 cal cans, and about 120 rounds of 12ga in another.
I just leave them in the boxes they come in. I organized the first 50k or so but now its too much of a pain in the ass to do. I just have a spare room that is piled with ammo and mags. I will have to move it to the basement soon though, I'm concerned about having 6 tonnes of ammo on the second floor of my house.
>>29385695
I just like buying ammo, its great
>>29385020
>of ZQI M855
Come on Tim don't be a shill!
>>29387802
Haha...I do that. In my defense, I have about 36 different caliber sand I can't keep track of them all in my head. I also track what I pay so I have a reference.
