how best to store loaded range ammo?

[Crankgrinder]

I've just gotten into a Lee progressive and now ive found myself with more rounds and less components. I'm short on boxes and maybe it might be better to go to military style ammo cans rather than more and more 100 round boxes. How do some of our progressive users store rounds in quantities of 500 and above?

Ammo cans, zip lock bags and even small cardboard boxes.

Same here, 100 rounds per qt. ziplock bag. All in ammo cans by caliber. Write info on bag- bullet weight, charge and date so I shoot oldest first.

What they said plus you might drop a dessicant pack in each ammo can or you can make your own see here

Store range ammo.

Harbor Freight has plastic ammo boxes, similar to metal GI cans. Not as sturdy.
But not as expensive either. With a coupon they are $5.99 each. They work fine for range ammo.

I've given up on the 50 and 100 round ammo boxes. As others have said, I'm now moving to zip lock bags in ammo cans.

Bags in ammo cans it is then. I will use my remaining 100rd boxes as loading blocks to help keep count. Good idea, thanks.
