Just curious...What do you use to store your loaded ammo when you load in that volume? Plastic totes, bins, ammo cans?  I tinker with loads, but I do load a lot when I find one my gun likes.  Thanks!

I do not know what Loyd does, but I use army ammo cans. Specifically 30 and 50 cal cans.

That really is impressive Lloyd!...I did have to grin knowing that you ran through 8lbs of powder in two days!

Would you have any luck in getting that old girl friend a.k.a New Wife to be working on the two buckets of .45acp brass for you while you work on the .308?

I store ammo three ways. If im going to shoot it within a year i store it in ammo cans but they gotten so expensive that ive switched to putting it in empty 3lb plastic coffee cans. I have a bunch of people that save them for me and they work great for ammo or for storing cast bullets. I also keep a quanity of ammo for shtf situations. It is stored for the long term and what i do with that is vaccum pack it about 250 rounds to the pack.
