This is my little airgunner life hack. What is yours? Anybody do the same?

I keep all my pellets in the original tin. On the JSB pellets tins that are open I use a big rubber bands to keep them together. The H&N pellets are screw on so easy to manage. I use a pellet pouch if I am mobile.
I keep all my open pellet tins in a medium sized plastic bin on my bench. Easy to get to and I usually have a dozen or less open tins at one time. Grab a tin and a rifle and off I go.

I just know I’d drop that container and be stuck looking under everything for pellets…LOL!
I just keep them in the original tins and place some in an old prescription bottle and then into a pocket when I go for a walk with them.

I also simply work from the original tins. I typically just have one "open" tin of any particular pellet. When the "open" tin is finished, I start another one. I rotate them, to use the oldest first, thought being there to avoid oxidations. Although I've yet to open a new tin and find oxidized pellets. The oxidation usually is on "open" tins that I've taken a long time in finishing, typically from a variety of pellet that I don't shoot much.
The exception to that is the .22 MRDs. Batches vary so much in how they shoot that I have an "open" tin from each batch for them.

It depends on the pellet and if I bought or cast them. I will run CPHP's through a towel to remove the swarf then back into the tin. Cast pellets will find old tins and hand cast slugs go into tubs.

Like most above, in their OEM tins into ziplock bags and then in harbor freight plastic ammo boxes.

Mine are all in the tin and on a shelf. If mobile, I put a quantity of the days pellet in a pouch.
Except on my last field trip, all my hunting was done from a couch on the porch. In that case I just set the tin in front of me.
The pouch I use belonged to an Uncle that passed in 1956, so it’s older than me. I have been using it since 1976.

Those segmented plastic trays are nice for sorting pellets and slugs by weight also. Once sorted in the trays, the original tins get labeled by sorted weight and used to store them. The NSA slugs comes very consistent for weight so they just stay bagged in their nice boxes unit use. Those big bore rounds don't last me too long anyhow; a box a day at the range many times over.

The 110 pounds of NSA slugs I own are still in their original boxes. My pellets I keep in their original tins inside a utility box with adjustable dividers.
This one is deep enough to have 3 tins per stack.

In the original tins on my basement floor. General separation of piles between 0.177 and 0.22. That's about it.

I do have unused tins of pellets still in the original packaging. I use the plastic for field testing. For hunts I usually load up a mag or a pocket of 15 rounds or so and that is it since I'm lucky if I get a couple shots off.

I do a little bit of this, and a little bit of that, but, this is where it’s at:
If pellets came in plastic bags then guys would be posting about the great low profile tins with a screw on top that they put them in and how handy they are in the field.

Original tins, some on my bench, some in my tool boxes. The slugs that come in those weird trays (hybrids, Zans) go into the old empty tins relabeled appropriately.
