How to store match 22lr ammo

[Gros21]

I'm looking for ideas to old a few boxes of 22lr I can not legally put them into my hard case.

I used to keep 90% of my ammo in my veh in a massive tool box 6x1.5 foot toolbox behind cab but I'm trying to be better.

Plus I have a few months to wait till my v22 is here.

I use this - https://amzn.to/35z5DwF

 

[Gros21]

I'm also looking at something to load 50~100 loose rounds as I bought some bulk eley and sk mag.

But I may look arround locally for those cases also

I'm aware vudoo sells some cases but at $130-$170 they are way out of my budget.

For my normal go to Cci sv this fits a few boxes perfectly.

But the more aqward size of max ammo has thrown a spanner in the worxs.

I'd love a neat mtm small ammo can solution.

To be really safe you need to use a good secure storage space. Here's mine......

This was for my 10/22 -

Haven't built a new tray for the V22 yet though.

 

[Basher]

$30, 150rds. In their own trays so there's no tedious handling of individual rounds or flip trays

Nice! I have a few with custom trays thay hold 80 each, don’t recall the brand though. They’re smaller than that, so hand when space is limited, but I do have to individually transfer from the box to the case which is a pain. I may be ordering a 1020 case now, too!

So you made that tray? If so, what would you charge to have another made? I just got a 10/22, and this would be excellent for range day use as well. Also, which case is that, a 1060?

Thanks, gents!

You likely have the Grey Ops. They are pricey irrc. I have a guy that is producing these 150rd trays that you can purchase from him and then Amazon a 1020. If you're interested I can send you his way.

Please share his info.

Interested in a couple trays also

I can not legally put them into my hard case.

Curious about this statement. Where are you located?

I was confused on that too

 

[jeronimo]

Pretty sure he's in Australia...

 

[jeronimo]

Condition 1 case capacity: 310 rounds, if I load the magazines.
Pelican 1040 capacity: 300 rounds.
I need to Plasti-Dip the foam in the Condition 1 case.



This is my range case setup. Nanuk 935 wheeled case.

Six magazines at the back/side, Pelican 1040 at bottom.
360 round capacity, if I load the magazines.

 

[jeronimo]

Gucci range box. An 18B would have a hard on right now

That 18B better back off and jack off......

Yep australia. Load of crap. We need to remove bolts also and have all firearms secured.

Plus as I have a firearm license I am on the police computers.

Also if I have my rifle in the car and go fill up I must kick everyone out of the car lock it up and go pay. Pay at pump isnt that common here plus I'm not sure if I can even even just exit veh to fill up while others sit in car

I'd grab one for the v22

Also what does plastidipping the foam do? Isn't that the cheap aerosol peeling paint people use to black out there badges or make there hub caps pink.

It helps to keep the foam from breaking down.

What state is this? Do you have a link to the actual law that you say prevents you from carrying boxed ammo in the same case as the rifle?

 

[Gros21]

Qld.

You can do it if it's in a differnt compartment eg standard rifle soft case and throw a box in the front. But ammo in same compartment as rifle would not end well.

[Jarrodb1975]

Some of u guys are really squared away. Lol

 

[littlepod]

Needed more than 150 rounds, so decided to go for 200 rounds which fit perfectly in the Pelican 1040 Case.

Were did you get the insert?

 

[littlepod]

Pm @zenbike he helps make my stuff when I send him pelican boxes. He has the Pelican 1040 one, and the 1060 one w/ the 10/22 mags.

For even smaller setup, the 150 round setup reubenski pointed to is solid design too.

 

[zenbike]

That's pretty cool. Vudoo's box/ case is obnoxiously large. These last two solutions are more manageable. Mine fits in my gunbox or cargo pocket. Perfect for a match. 100rds for 10 stages, 20-30 rds for zero and 20-30rds for extra or after match plinking.

It was a pretty fun case to build, too.

 

[zenbike]

For what it’s worth, I can do inserts up to about 9” x 10” with custom layouts. And I have blank inserts drawn for the Pelican 1120 & 1200 also.

 

[JerrodGlover1]

Can you let me know how much for the 1040 case with 200 rounds?

 

[gunsnjeeps]

I feel cheap. I take my CCI Standard Velocity out of the cardboard box and put 65 rounds (one match) in the CCI 100 round plastic box and have about a dozen on the shelf so I can throw a few in my pistol box.

Me too. I just put a couple boxes in my range box (small plastic tote) along with my rear rest and wind flags.

 

[SRW]

Wow, I thought I was OCD. I can’t hold a candle to most of you guys. Is the precision 22 ammo that finicky that it can’t move when stored?

 

[littlepod]

Personally, it was much easier to load rounds with the box fully open. Not worry about tipping, rounds getting everywhere. Don't have to deal with multiple boxes to throw away. So just open my case laod up, close my case. I go through 80-100 rounds for a match. + zeroing / possible reshoots, etc. And then I've seen people get their loose center - x box mixed up .." was that your ammo?" when it's all just sitting on a bench.

First world problems I know But it was a $40 investment and I'll use it years.

 

[hlee]

And here I thought match ammo came in storage containers...

 

[Hellbender]

How do you just dump 10 rounds out into your hand? Do you actually pick out 10 rounds individually from the Pelican box?
Looks to me like all the add'l handling would just damage the rounds more than just leaving them in the factory box, sliding it to 10 or 5 rounds and dumping it into your hand.....
But maybe I'm missing something, are you guys SCUBA diving or something before shooting?

 

[MLS2GO]

Those are extremely well done and functional.

 

[carbonbased]

I’m thinking some of you guys load your bullets into your holders like this:

 

[carbonbased]

If I were to do this (and I just use the cardboard/plastic boxes ammo comes in), I'd buy something like this so I could grab the bullets:

Offhand Holders | Champion's Choice

Or like this: https://www.shootingequipment.de/en/Storage-transport/Transport/Ammunition-boxes/ahg-Ammunition-box-for-22.html?listtype=search&searchparam=Cartridge box

I've glanced at others on various Euro sites that I have forgotten.

 

[Kisssofdeath]

I store mine like this.

 

[bunk216]

^^^ thats a clean setup.

 

[bunk216]

So the question was asked above and no one has commented on it. Wondering the same thing. Is it that finicky or is it just easier to handle, label, etc. I never thought of keeping it that secure. Just always run it straight out of the box in the plastic trays.

"Is the precision 22 ammo that finicky that it can’t move when stored?"

 

[acudaowner]

this could work if it can keep this safe your 22lr match ammo should have no problem ..........

 

[Rolltide]

I use KOD's approach at home but typically load magazines there and then go to the range.

I use these to keep things together, which works well but definitely isn't as put together as what many of you guys are using.

To answer the question; NO - precision .22 ammo is not that finicky that is can't move when stored.

Due to price, it is a good idea to take care when transporting to prevent the boxes from opening and dumping our having dirt / debris adhering to the wax lube.

Remember, it is packaged in the individual boxes, then into bricks then into a case onto a pallet and then bounced around on trucks, forklifts, pallet jacks and the like during it's life before it even gets dropped (sometimes literally) by UPS on your doorstep.

I never quite understand why so many people orient their rifles in the case with the sights/optics towards the bottom. If the case is dropped and the rifle moves - and they DO move even w/ cut out foam - the sights take the brunt of the force. Also, keeping the bolt in the rifle was another item to avoid when traveling.

Again, its a situation of to each their own, but having flown extensively for many years to competitions, you really get to know the details and best methods of keeping equipment safe.

Just an "observation for consideration".

 

[Gros21]

I bought some bulk stuff and as I own 50 acres I'll just be wanting to grab and run some ammo. I cant legally store ammo in the the hard case with the rifle (australia) or loaded mags.

 

[1813Benny]

The scope free-floats in that cut-out. And I don't fly to matches.

Even dropping a case when carrying will have the rifle shift. Again, to each their own.

 

[1813Benny]

Look. I used to do that 15 years ago. When you sandwich a heavy rifle in between two pieces of foam it will slide in the case as you mention. But cases don't just get dropped handle up. I've laid them out both ways and after a couple of years....Frankly, I don't really give a shit about this topic. I tried to be polite before hoping you wouldn't bring it up again. I am completely uninterested.

Reubenski:
Have a nice day sir.

My apologies for hijacking the thread and going off topic. Was just trying to provide insight to others to avoid a potentially costly error.

Holy bat balls batman! That's like $600+ worth of Anschutz mags. You are fighting for top spot with a friend of mine on here named AirgunShawn for the biggest mag whore. LOL

“Mag Whore” “bat balls” hahahahah!

 

[ocabj]

I have a bunch of Pelican 1020 cases, some of which I already use to store three boxes straight up with SK/Lapua ammo, so I picked up a couple of those AGS Precision inserts: https://www.ocabj.net/ags-precision-22lr-pelican-insert/

I think they're kind of cool. I usually just bring my .22LR ammo to the range in a 30cal ammo can since most paper bricks fit (SK, Wolf) in that. But whenever I just bring a small amount of ammo (e.g. for a match), the Pelican micros are a nice sealed method.
