Rearranged some ammo.... (Easter cleaning/sorting)

The big case here was getting tough to lug around whenever I needed something - plus it was filled to the top. I could maybe get half a pack of Rem .45/70 into it.
The large green one here plus 15 packs of Lapua was laying around.

Now it's sorted a little bit - parted out into three standard .50cal cans plus two PeliStorm-cases

Small yellow PeliStorm = Lapua Subsonic .308Win ammo
Large yellow PeliStorm = 700 Krag Jorgensen 8x58R, all original from 1966
Left green can = Federal 300grain .45/70
Middle green can = Lapua Scenar 155grain
Right green can = Remington 300grain .45/70

Now I just need to put the rest of it in PeliStorm-cases.
Halfways there, I guess. Plus some that's allready in wooden crates.

    That is funny. [:D]

    I just did just a little ammo/gun parts organizing this morning and am going to finish up here in a bit.

    BTW, nice stash of 45-70 ammo! [8D]

    Yeah, my two Marlin 1895's (Guidegun and Cowboy) plus the Davide Pedersoli "Sharps 1874 Sporter" might get hungry this summer :)

    I hear ya. They are all nice for various reasons, but I really like the Marlin Guide gun's. They handle nice and shoot good.

    Whenever I go out to the range with friends or if someone already at the range sees me shooting my .300 WinMag, I always offer a shot or 2, to them if they want. They usually jump at the opportunity, so I keep the 180's stocked up so they "get the full affect." The 150's don't kick any more then an 06'. [:D]

    Easy - that's in the other 2/3 part of the ammo that is NOT shown here.

    I just "re-arranged SOME ammo", not all of it. ;)

    No need for that - I'm sure.
    I'm pretty well set, even in a Zombie-situation. :)

    It must be that time of the year. Went through most of mine recently. About the only thing I am really short on is 12 guage shotgun. Hardly any but then I hardly shoot mine much any more. Have a ton of 16 guage thanks to a gift from a friend who had it given to him when someone died. Have a good supply of 28 guage and a small supply of .410. Got plenty of .22. A lot is small lots I bought to see how it worked. With supply and prices today it is all good. Also have a quantity of semi collectable .22 that I bought so cheap I may just shoot it if I ever run short. Paid less for it than I can buy new stuff today. I rearranged things so I can actualy find a particular caliber without looking for half of the day.

    Well, it wasn't too interesting - I know that.
    But it's something I've been putting off for 2+ years.

    It was just a big thing for me, that it was finally done :)

    And I'm just thrilled that the cases fit so well too. There's only a little room left in the cases. :) Plenty space-efficient for me and my use.

    From the amount of ammo in the picture, it's crystal clear you are in need of A LOT MORE AMMO!!!


    [8D]

    Yeah, but it's still only 1/3rd of what I have (approx)

    I'd say the ammo level is "fair" for the most part. :)
