    what do you put your reloaded ammo in?

    I'm talking about small batches. Do you just keep it loose in a small container, plastic ammo box, or what. I have been keeping the plasic trays from my factory ammo and plan on using them again. It is easy to organize and pack in the small factory size boxes. What do you do?

    You can always tell the who the reloaders are at the range when I go, they aren't afraid to either ask for your spent ammo trays or even dig in the trash cans for them. I don't reload myself, but I'm guessing that is one of the most sound solutions to recycle those if you're making small batches or trying to count up how much you plan on shooting that day.

    Used factory trays, or tupperware bows. I don't care what it looks like to others, as long as they are working well.

    I have a bunch of plastic ammo boxes. I pick up a couple more every now and then. They're only a couple of bucks a piece, and last much longer than the cardboard ammo boxes. I also use discarded ammo boxes. They're already labeled as to caliber, and all I need to do is put a label on describing the loading.
    I don't worry about how it looks to others either. The key is keeping them organized and easy to take and use at the range.

    Same here, I like to use the plastic Plano boxes with fifty round capacity and label them according to the load being used. I also use a color coded system on the boxes to identify which are the hottest loads for a particular caliber.

    Zip Loc clear plastic bags. I can get a lot of ammo into my bag with them. The fact that the ammo is "flexible" means the bags fit into any shape, and weird empty spots. They are very handy for ammo. I use different sizes, typically no more than 100 rounds in a bag, smaller bags are great for 10-20 or 50 rounds for testing purposes.

    I have some plastic boxes from Cabela's that I use for ammo testing. I find they keep things a little better organized when I'm developing a load.

    Otherwise I use factory plastic trays and/or ziplock bags. When I'm making zombie ammo I put it in plastic trays and seal them with one of those food storage vacuum sealers.

    Don't tell my wife about that, btw...

    In a world of talkers, be a thinker and a doer.

    Duct tape is like 'The Force'. It has a light side and a dark side, and it binds the universe together.

    You know the other funny thing about duct tape? There are hundreds of uses, but it's not used for ducts. Go figure...

    For my rifle rounds I keep them in MTM ammo cases but for pistol rounds I keep them lose and use bank deposit bags.

    I keep pistol rounds loose in ammo cans and the rifle rounds in plastic ammo boxes or load them into enbloc clips. I do have plastic handgun ammo boxes to take the range with me.
