    I used to store my reloads in plastic MTM type boxes but that takes a lot of time. I reload for every caliber I own and it was getting to be a pain. I switched to ammo cans and it's way more convenient. Plus, it looks pretty cool too.

    Metal ammo cans with rubber seals is the only way to do it imo. I have several and keep them stored indoors. Personally I buy brand new ones because I keep them in my house. Every six months or so I’ll pull them out of the safe and go through each and every one and change out the desicant. Probably overkill but the way I see it is it’s just cheap insurance for a very valuable investment.

    I also have each ammo can labeled by caliber as well as its own individual number. That way I can put in my notes exactly what’s in each ammo can and when it was purchased. This keeps rotating and storing things easy and convenient. Also makes it a lot easier when looking for something specific I can go directly to that ammo can instead of popping the top on several searching for what I need.

    The only thing I use plastic ammo cans for is spare parts. I prefer Plano with a rubber seal. The shotgun shell ammo boxes are nice because they can hold a good bit of spare parts, springs, magazines, or whatever you desire and they stack well in the safe.

    These are the ammo can labels I prefer. They can get pretty expensive if doing it all at once and they range about $3-$6 depending on which caliber or wording you get. Definitely cheaper options but I find these look good and help to easily identify the caliber.
