Pellet containers

[Neu]

So I just had knee surgery and I'm going to be off work for about 6-8 weeks so I ordered a few boxes of the 1250 cosman domes. Most of my guns shoot them really well and I am going to be going through them. Anyone have a good suggestion for something to keep them in,say a few hundred in each container. I sure this has been covered but if you search pellet you get a few million post lol.

I keep old tins or some plastic jars. Those Daisy pellets are cheap and good enough for plinking and the tins have a nice screw lid.


I've also seen these little silicone jars used. Just don't put them in a bag to bounce around, they can open up.

Silent Thunder Ordnance makes some real nice looking caddies: https://www.silentthunderordnance.com/air?category=Accessory

I sort them by weight, then pretty much just leave them sorted in the bins. I pack them in the original pellet tins to use, and replenish from the sorted box accordingly. Keeping them in the sorting box also allows me to have something to reference and verify weights showing on the scale when sorting the next batch.

Depending on how you have to load, WalMart carries pellet pens. Doesn't hold 100s, works good for springers and some magazines, and pretty cheap. They come in .22 & .177.

If you already have some Crosman tins, I have found that a Pringles plastic top works well as a top for those tins. Note, they do not work well for transporting as they fit, but don't secure.

Anyway, just a thought... (smile)

Prescription pill bottles. I wash them out and use them all from big to small. I cast a lot of the ammo I shoot, and I can see at a glance what's in each one.

Easy to open and just slightly less volume than a JSB pellet tin. I'd be interested in seeing how the aluminum holds up.

I have a bunch of empty pellet tins. Would send you some if you pay the shipping.

Same here, I can easily send you a dozen empty tins of CPHPs with screw on lids… They don’t weigh much… PM sent.

I've used some of these I picked up at the local Walmart in the crafting dept. but I'm sure you could pick them up anywhere..........
6 oz. plastic jar holds a LOT of pellets.

Likewise, the wife has a surplus of these available . They come in handy when the lid is two-way, so you can pour out 20 or so pellets and not have to worry about accidentally spilling the tin. Felt pen and blank label and it's identified for the future.

I like it then how bout clear top lids? Just peak in without needing to open to see inside?

Yes I saw those, a member here is sending me some empty tins he has. Gotta love this community and a big thanks to L.Leon for his generosity.

 

[Hateful McNasty]

Sounds good. I keep most all my tins for use . Mostly painted black long range bull eyes or what ever pops up like your deal maybe.

Anyway looks like hes got you covered..

I would get snus cans from a guy at work. Pinch the sides to open and flat rectangle tin shape. Makes my pellets smell like peaches.

 

[EdinGa]

I had to look up snus. Those tins are neat.

Where did you buy boxes of 1250?
