Your locking case should be great. I have a weird way of storing mine. I use big tupperware containers to store my ammo, and I label the caliber bullet on the top.

In the original boxes, taped in the original case, and the cases stored in a big safe!
Stay armed...buy extra ammo...stay safe!

I see what you mean. Now when I practice I must have at least 300rounds per pistol.Originally Posted by dukalmighty

If in original boxes or in bulk I store in military ammo cans and then in my ammo safe.

In good surplus ammo cans on wooden shelves, high and dry with those little extra bags of desiccant that come in virtually everything these days!

Any particular brands or types to look for? I am thinking of an el cheapo model- not looking to spend hundreds for it.

I store mine in dry ammo boxes like you would find at Cabelas. This is not the most cost effective way of doing it, but they lock and that is a good feature for someone like me that has children and no large safe yet!

I wouldn't spend much money on it either. You're only storing your ammo. I'm sure you can find them at Wal-Mart if it's what I think you are talking about.

Cool, and dry place will fit the bill. Living in CO with low humidity is a plus.
If it is humid sealed with some desiccant, as sated be for, you should be good to go.

If security from kids is an issue, you can just drill a hole in a milsurp ammo can and insert an eye bolt through the hole, and drill a bigger hole on the hasp that the eyebolt can pass through. Then run a cable lock through all of the eyebolts. A bicycle cable type lock will secure a lot of cans when threaded through the eye bolts.You end up with something like this, for way less money and only one key is needed.

Or you can attach a regular hasp lock on each can, but eyebolts are cheaper.
I used to keep my ammo in a locked steel cabinet, but since I moved it's stacked in mil-surp ammo cans in the closet and arranged by caliber.
When you've got 'em by the balls, their hearts & minds will follow. Semper Fi.
