Ammo storage

[andre3k]

I got bored and built this when COVID made its appearance. Midway has a deal on ammo cans with cheap shipping and I bought these, but it's still not enough.

Time to build another one and Harbor Freight has 50 cal ammo cans on sale. Each can gets a rechargeable 40 gram desiccant pack inside.

Nice Looking

That's a heavy B right there, but you built it stout, I like it.
I started putting oxygen absorbers in mine as well to keep any of it from tarnishing.
Cheap on Amazon, just some food for thought.

Doesn't take up much room. I use to keep ammo in my safe but that started taking up too much space and I went to using ammo cans for everything. If I can find a source for the tall ammo cans reloading components will be stored this way as well.

Mind sharing dimensions?

I need something similar. Wife is tired of closet floors being occupied.

Very nice! Does each can represent a different caliber/cartridge or do you just have that much ammo on hand? Also do the ammo cans still have the rubber seals? I tried some larger rechargeable desiccant packs placed in a safe some years ago, but they lasted less than a week before needing recharging. This was in south La though, but still inside an AC home.

Most of the cans contain a single caliber. Some of are full of bullets for reloading, mainly 55gr SP and 62gr FMJ. But they're all full so I'm getting more cans and building another rack.

I haven't had an issue with the rubber seals on these. I recharged the desiccant packs in the oven a few months ago, so I got almost 3 years before they needed it.

I like the setup! I have a smaller stack-on strictly for ammo storage. 9mm,5.56,308. nice idea!

I like the idea and the desiccant packs but aren't the ammo cans sealed?

[RamprideHG84]

typically they have rubber seals but from my understanding that is more protecting against other elements like dirt.

I would also look at labeling the cans on the outside especially the ones on the top of your nice stand! awesome work man!
