Absolutely !Why is one storing ammo/ammo cans in a safe? I've got a few boxes of HP's in mine, but I've never "stored" ammo in any container in the safes.
As Rick mentioned, it's easier to grab a handful of loose rounds from one of my ammo cans when loading mags. Also been using an UpLula [ have 4 actually, one double stack, one single stack, one 22lr, and some other one I forget what it's made for ] for the last 2 decades. Nothing beats the Uplula's I've ever tried for mag loaders.
What to do: Bulk Ammo (after opening the box)?
Q: What to do about bulk ammo original packaging that falls apart or starts to take up too much space when the contents get low?
I often buy bulk ammo online.
If there are enough rounds, over time, inevitably the original cardboard box deteriorates to the point where it just isn't worth trying to use it for transport to the range. And when the box gets low, it takes up needed space.
I'm investigating the below as a possible solution and wanted to share it with you:
![Brown Rectangle Textile Font Pattern]()

On sale at Amazon now (-30%). $15 with prime membership for the two bags.
One bag is slightly smaller than the other. (FYI).
Mine arrived today, and I plan to try to stuff about 300 rounds of 9mm in the larger one.
I'll report back.
The bags are well made, with what appears to be a very solid zipper.
The bottom of the bags are reinforced, gusseted (to keep them upright), and made of "2520 ballistic material", whatever that is.
I'm familiar with Klein tool bags that cell tower crews often use -- and those are durable.
I'm hoping the same is true for these smaller bags (and on first inspection, that seems to be the case).

Negative .. I only use them for transport to the range . The boxes i keep in a large record cabinet & can see them through the glass .. Now as in LGS , I don't keep them in metal ammo boxes per se . However they do not leave the house that way .. Yes factory ammo in my range bags . I never carry any loose ammo ever .Point of clarification: Do you use these canvas bags for storage AND transport of loose ammo, or is the ammo kept in their [factory] boxes in these bags?
I like those canvas bags for carrying things around, too and have several. However, since I keep ammo stored in ammo cans with seals, it's quite easy to transport it to/from the range that way, too. Otherwise, I'd have to transfer the ammo to those bags first befor transport.
I can assure you it was not done as a pun . However after re reading my post , I can see your point+1 for the pun.
Awesome ! Me TooStill late on the photos, but I'm happy to report that the canvas bags (Klein variety) are perfect.
I loaded about 300 rounds of that Blazer Brass 9mm from the original carton.
Fits in the smaller bag with maybe 40% room left over.
This is going to be a way better solution for me.
Next experiment will be to see how many 12 ga shells I can pack in the larger bag.
Although, I already own a few bandoliers for that issue.
