I have accumulated thousands of rounds of ammo during the past 6 months. It's all kept in steel military canisters in my bedroom closet.

Where do do you keep yours.

 

[davva360]

On a high shelf in the locked bedroom walk in closet where my son can not get to it.

I thought about keeping it in that drawer under the oven but something told me that probably was not the best idea.

 

[jjfuller1]

some in my firearms mags, the rest on a shelf next to said firearm.... i tried putting them in my pillow cases but that made it too hard to sleep.

Accumulating thousands of rounds, craziness.

This entire time I've been led to believe that ten was the limit and more than efficient.

GI ammo cans make good storage- that is what they were designed to do.

For myself.....

GI ammo cans (a bunch of them) in my climate controlled garage.

One may well consider a designated safe just for ammo. My ammo safe has walls the thickness of my Glock, solid steel, and is 3 feet square. It sits atop another safe I keep gold, jewelry and important papers in. The lower safe weighs 5,000 pounds and is moved via forklift. Forklift stacked the two safes together, that now sit 6'7" tall. Naturally, I siliconed the two safes together. lol

Price I payed for these two safes? Free. Look around, older (better) safes get left behind. Contact a business realtor, auction house, lock smith.

The top safe is full, of many ammo cans, wish the bottom safe was full. lol

IMHO, it is not prudent, to store a cache of ammo, or firearms, outside a safe. Pretty good video I discovered on new safes.

In my gun waiting for BG's looking for my stuff!

I store most of my ammo in my gun room. Reloading supplies are there too. I keep a shotgun and a couple boxes of ammo in the bedroom.

 

[KG7IL]

I will be keeping one bullet taped inside my hat for an emergency.

I will buy my second bullet when prices come down.

 

[shucknshoot]

Well I didn't expext the smartass answers but that's ok . I was just wondering how and where people on the forum stored their ammo. Just trying to pick up some good suggestions. Have a nice day.

You don't want to put all your eggs in one basket. If you have a safe or steel locker that would work. I found a local LGS that had ammo cans for $7 ea. You don't want dirtbags to know all your hiding places! At $1/rd, it's like pots of gold in convent storage box. After you have been broken in to, you don't want to tell too much info.

In steel military canisters in my bedroom closet. Lol

Ammo cans locked inside an old footlocker my pap made back in the day

 

[longunner]

keeping it in that drawer under the oven

 

[fupuk]

For now I have them in ammo cans in my bedroom closet. But im going to get a job box and lock up my ammo inside of the cans in side of the job box. They weigh almost 200lbs empty and add a few thousand rounds and that thing will weight a hefty ammount.

Sorry to shatter expectations, but I can see that you are new and will forgive you.

My son and I know the location(s), but ammo cans are the container. All are generally shielded from temperature extremes and moisture.

In my dreams this is what it looks like.

But I am still waiting to buy my second bullet.

 

[locutus]

Ammo should be kept cool and dry.

I store mine in sealed ammo cans with dessicant packs in the can, on the floor of my basement workshop.

Every 3 months, I open the cans and dry the dessicant.
(Two hours at 200 degrees in the electric oven.)

I keep my handgun ammo in a small cabinet above the gun safe. I keep shotgun ammo in a military ammo box. in the "gun room" I keep my .357 in a concealed safe in the master bedroom suite, and a box of ammo with it. I have a single shot shotgun on the wall in the library, and a box of shells hidden behind some books.
