Ok then .. When inside a vehicle at 98 degrees , the temps can hit 100 + easily . Canvas cannot draw that kind heat .. I am aware of ammo , keeping in moderate temps as much as possible . Just my way ymmv
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]()
Link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075ZYW694
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).

I will also mention that I really do prefer the "European" style boxes of 9mm ammo.
By that, I mean the compact containers that Sellier & Bellot ammo comes in.
See: 9 mm LUGER / 9 mm PARA / 9 × 19 – FMJ 115 GRS SB9A – Sellier & Bellot
The boxes are compact: 50 rounds of S&B ammo takes up probably half the space of Winchester white box, for example.
I'm aware that not all S&B ammo comes in compact boxes (.338 Lapua Magnum, for one example).
And I'm not positive there's anything to "European" packaging - but that's what I've heard it called.
Regardless, all things being equal, the less physical space in my life taken up by ammo, the better.
So long as I can keep 1000's of rounds on-hand in each caliber.

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.
Still 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.
