How do you store your pellets/slugs?

[ctshooter]

I've been using these just to have a consistent size stack for the pellets/slugs I use regularly:

Sometimes I'll just put a P-Touch label on them, but for pellets I usually try to remove the sticker cleanly (a little heat helps loosen the glue and then a razor blade) and stick them on top.

I have to add this. I just bought my first pellet pen which is a fantastic way to load a break barrel and carry the ammo you will use. After seeing it I was instantly pissed off on my lack of imagination of just making one from scratch. The real point of the pen is a restrictor at the end that holds a pellet to load and keeps the one behind it from just falling out. The high tech restrictor is just a little piece of fuel tubing which I have over twenty feet of from my RC hobby. On the bright side pellet pens only come in two sizes, .177 and .22. I will make them for my .25 and .30 break barrels.

I do a little bit of this, and a little bit of that, but, this is where it’s at:

It's nice to have them all under one lid. Maybe it's the OCD in me, maybe the visual aid, or maybe it's the fact that I've had a couple dozen tins spill on me that made me convert. The JSB tins always pop open if they fall.

These Plano line spool totes work good to hold the sorted pellets in tins.

keep mine in the original tin or box for bullets,......I label them with the gun I'm using them for, otherwise I will never remember and make a mess out of it

Shoot, I've never thought of that. Smart and simple, since each tin is different. Thanks

Yeah my Winchester .25 shoots the Baracuda, the Tach .25 shoots the 29.5gr NSA, the MAX/ML .25 shoots the EunJin 43gr Nomads, the .30 Mini carbine shoots the NSA 44gr, the .30 Thumbhole shoots the JSB 44gr, the other .30 shoots the JSB 50gr, the REX pistol shoots the 75gr Matts bullets, the REX Mini Carbine shoots the 148gr Matts bullets Wadcutters, the other REX shoots the 200gr Western bullets
If I didn't label my Tins/boxes I would make a mess out of it

In their own tins, or that is the things that come in boxes i put in tins with a screw on lid, at least for the things i need to shoot for my next session
I have a whole ALU suitcase full of box slugs, and the remaining slugs and pellets in tins are stored in a kitchen Cupboard.

In this regard it is nice to be locked to just 1 caliber.

Except for a few "active use" pellet tins, my pellets are stored in their original tins, inside some 5-gallon air-tight sealed steel barrels/buckets.

original tins with a couple drops of 3 in 1 silicone lube, then when the tin is empty set it out and start blasting it.

I keep my ammo in their original tins, but I have 3D printed plastic containers with threaded lids that the opened tins will fit in. No more opened tins in my bag with pellets all over the place.

I use those leather (Wilkins) pouches as well..177 in a black one, .20 cal in the green one and .22 in the saddle color. I generally only have one or two tins open of the three calibers. I to try to keep new tins taped up and sealed to avoid oxidation.

I guess it depends are we talking, pellet storage or pellet carrying?
i store than mentioned above to field carry I made this single piece leather cup that fits in a tin with a lid piece that glues to the inside of the tins lid. Now yes if it is a new tin you loose some pellet count due to the thickness of the leather cup but it sure is quiet in the field.

I keep a tin or two with each rifle. I keep my others in smallish ammo cans that are in a ginormous tote with a bunch of AG stuff. I like to keep the batches together with sealable bags.

 

[Headshots]

I store mine in ammo boxes. And a portable high tech pellet box.

 

[Richieg]

I had a BUNCH sorted, weighed, ect. Took them to the range, over a couple years, in a plastic tubs with dividers in them, and noticed they started to oxidize. So now I put them in tins sealed tight. So far no oxidation.

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.

Just wondering where do you go and shoot in your neighbor hood. I live next door in 48101. trying to find some where to shoot.
