Load your mag while watching TV is the most enjoyable thing during weekend
Regarding the use of cardboard boxes. I have my father's ammo cans from probably the early 1970’s. Inside each can are a dozen or more of boxes of ammo in cardboard boxes. All the ammo is as shiney as new. I think the cardboard effecting ammo is when its left outside of airtight cans, especially in basements and garages. My father never even used absorbers in the cans. Once I took possession of the cans, I did use absorbers. So leaving rounds inside cardboard boxes is absolutely fine, if they will be in airtight containers.
Yep. Same here
I was gunna say the same
Its also going to depend on the temps and range of temps of said room or storage area...also if you live in Super Humid weather like Florida.
@@douglasduda9826Florida has something called A/C so the humidity isn’t an issue
@@AreU4Real1 Except most AC units cannot REMOVE over 50% humidity Florida Constantly has 90% or more humidity. I know what AC is I lived in Florida and South Texas. Without it you would not live in either place.
Dessicant packs for the oil on your hands? Do you know what dessicant does?
Thank you! You answered all my questions regarding ammo. Especially the question regarding the cardboard boxes!
I just learned something from this video. Thanks.
Awesome saying ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

*OH NO YOU DON'T!* what you hidin behind that censor on the left screen, ma boi?!
You can vacuum seal the ammo with the original box .
I have stored my preps in Metal and plastic containers. I store them in a dark dry place. I have preps packed in the early 2000's that are in pristine condition. But, do as you like.
I'm a new gun owner. and I find that loading mags is oddly relaxing.
One .50 cal can will store 300 .308 in 20 round box or 1000 5.56 in 50 round box or 1000 9mm in 50 round box or 2500 .22 LR in 100 round containers (CCI plastic) I built a wooden shelving unit that houses 35 cans (5 shelves of 7 cans) for my shtf ammo which i started gathering quite a few years ago. 1500 or 5 cans .308 (900 168 gr hpbt/600 147 gr ball) 15000 or 15 cans 5.56 62 gr ball. 5000 or 5 cans of 9mm (3000 124 gr XTP/2000 124 gr ball). 25000 or 10 cans of .22 lr
(5000 CCI 32 gr HP Stingers/20000 CCI 36 gr HP). ((46500 for those that count)) Each can also has a desicant pack in it. My training/hunting/range/practice ammo and ammo in other calibers is also stored on shelves but not in ammo cans. Some is stored in mags others in original box and some in mtm 100 count boxes. Do not forget water food medical and training.
The stuff in the cans on the shelving unit does not get touched. The stuff on my other shelves and in my mags get shot and rotated thru. .
Two quick comments, first the cardboard boxes are fine .. the army has been storing stuff for years that way and honestly so have I .. second desicant will not effect the oils .. that is not what it does.
I fought in 68 and 69 on the DMZ 1000 rounds will only get you started in a firefight
10K of 22 lr round never hurt anyones bank account
One thing to remember is your state specific restrictions to storage, from qty maximums (fire marshal), requirements to keep in original packaging indicating caliber/guage.
Nope lmfao government can get fucked they sell weapons and ammo world wide then try to tell coward americans what to do and not do
Okay, communist. Go ahead and follow illegal pig laws. Go ahead and set precedent for the removal of our rights by following illegal laws. Go ahead and keep lying every time you say "I Love you"
Hey
Where did you get that ammo can with the inserts for the magazines
Called mtm tactical mag cans. I’ll try to leave a link but ytube doesn’t usually let them stay up.
Thanks found them.
They're available at Big Daddy Unlimited.
Ok thanks I’ll go there to get them.
Dan
Amazon sells them cheaper than anyone, I'm pretty sure. Not that it probably matters now, 😆.
I always load all my mags before I hit the range. Especially if it’s an indoor range which I don’t go too that much. Way too many newbie’s or larpers 😅
Reload! Even today it's slightly cheaper, but I'm not costing my time!
He stored his box of hollow points in my pj drawer. Now I can't get the smell out the drawer. I washed the clothes and put them back and again they smell like gun powder. I think it's in the wood, but febreeze, vinegar , charcoal has not worked. Any suggestions?
Just leave it there gun powder smell cant be that bad
Gun powder smell is an aphrodisiac for real men 😅
Not gonna lie - that's sounding like the extra chromosome finally won the fight against your last braincell
Agree plastic ammo box sucks
1:24 lol
Alright so i'm hearing mixed things on leaving it in the cardboard.
Other people say as long as you store the cardboard when you get it it is another layer to protect the ammo.
Could I get some votes with more experienced hoarders? God bless 'Merica brothers
Honestly, it doesn't matter. I personally put 100 rounds inside ziploc bags and throw silica gel inside them, and then store the bags in an airtight ammo can. I don't worry about leaving it in the cardboard because an airtight ziploc with silica is just better.
If you do take it out of the boxes, cut the lot number off and leave it with the ammo in case of a malfunction or recall.
Just received my trust fund and picked up 3k of HP 9mm last weeekend. I am gonna keep stacking.
Sorry, it’s a myth that the ammo in cardboard boxes is going to “absorb moisture,” if you’re keeping the boxes in USGI cans. I have cardboard boxes with pristine ammo inside that’s been in .30 cal ammo cans for 62 years, and that’s with no dessicant packs that aren’t needed in any case; silica gel has to be periodically recharged, which means opening the cans every couple of months to do that, and if you only open them periodically during long term storage and keep them in a controlled climate you don’t need to bother. I only do that for primers, which by the way are also stored in cardboard sleeves. By this logic thousands of primers should be dumped loose in an ammo can, and if loaded rounds in boxes are supposedly susceptible to moisture, then primers would be far worse off and should be stored loose as well. (?)
For long term storage I keep it in the boxes and in a .50 cal can in a cool dry place like the floor of a closet. I also have a bunch in a Liberty Safe Ammo Can safe, with a large rechargeable dessicant unit inside, since that door is opened periodically.
I store it the way the military does, in cardboard boxes. Dumping thousands of loose loaded rounds in a .50 cal can just means you now have a far too heavy can to hump around, and that you have no idea of the lot or mfr info of that stored ammo. Just keep it in boxes and buy more cans, which are easier to move and keep track of ammo lots and brands, loads, bullet types, etc.
I have the small MTM boxes you show there for loose range rounds, and consider those unboxed rounds the short term stuff. IMO you have the right idea, but you have your short term and long term storage ideas backwards.
For 5.56, I keep that in stripper clips in bandoliers with strip loading tools clipped to each, and the magazines in Midway zipper pouches that hold 12 _empty_ mags each. They’re smaller and lighter than the dedicated MTM mag crates, and don’t keep the mags loaded to keep the weight down (although you can do so if you want), and you can load them from clips in seconds. This means you can transport more mags and ammo faster and easier with less space required. YMMV.
Why does BDU take months to ship products?
I haven't had any issues, do you live in the middle of nowhere?
@@schowzy7652 No. Wouldn’t matter if I did tho-it’s 2022 in the USA. Shouldn’t take 2 months to receive a holster. Then they always hit me with “it’s out of stock now. How about a free month?”
@@joshgalt2022 I've only ever had one problem out of all the stuff I've ordered and it wasn't months. Just a few weeks. Even during the height of the ammo craziness it would only take them a week or less to ship my ammo.
@@oldscratch3535 Interesting. Every time I order a bunch of stuff half of it ends up taking over a month to ship, then when i call they tell me it’s out of stock and they will give me a free month.
Hey, Josh please reach out to support@bigdaddyunlimted.com so we can rectify this.
That’s an impressive beard buddy, is it all natural or are you putting product in it? 🤔
How long can loaded mag sit before mag spring loses its return force?
A really really long time. Springs don’t lose their tension bc they are compressed. Those stainless steel springs in mags can be loaded indefinitely. What causes springs to wear out is compressing and decompressing over and over and even that will take years of doing that over and over. I had the same concern. You can keep mags loaded for long long times.
As a new gun owner, that question crossed my mind.
cant hear ya
Do you have too have a beard and flannel for a firearm related video 🤔🇺🇸
I stopped after I saw plastic cans.
M855 ammo is literally garbage. It’s the worst of both worlds, it’s not AP and doesn’t tumble and fragment. Personally I think m193 makes more sense for most applications and it’s cheaper.
It is barrier defeating. Look up Paul Harrell video on comparison. Very eye opening.
If you want to save money on ammunition RELOAD
Loading ammunition is a task perfect for large scale automatisation.
Companies can save cost per round by buying huge shipments of ammo components for bulk prices and running massive machinery that costs a lot to set up, but little to run.
Of course businesses need to profit and they charge a good bit more than production cost them. But that sort of markup also applies for ammo components you purchase, so you'll pay it either way. Might aswell save yourself the time spent loading.
I think that you may aswell save yourself the effort unless you're using obscure, highly marked up in price calibers or want a particular load, i believe it's silly to load ammo for money saving purposes.
Yawn zzzzzzzz
