With the recent addition of my Remington 700, I'm running out of space in my small gun "cabinet" where I store both my guns and ammo. For those that store them separately, where do you usually keep it? Also, where do you keep range stuff like ear pro, rear bags, etc.?

Re: Where do you guys store your ammo?
Several years ago, my wife bought me one of the Sears metal storage cabinets:

It does the job.

Re: Where do you guys store your ammo?
I use plastic ammo cans for shotgun ammo.
Rifle and pistol rounds go in the gun safe with the guns - not a ton of rounds so it doesn't take up much room.
Range stuff all just stays in the bag I take with me, Except for my spotting scope which I sometimes throw in the safe too.

In a large metal... never mind soon to be buried on someone else's property.

Re: Where do you guys store your ammo?
Guns, scopes and anything else expensive goes into the safe. Ammo goes into a Stack On gun locker. This is hypothetically speaking if I ever owned guns or ammo but those things are bad. People should grow flowers instead of shooting guns.

Buried weapons do you no good.
I like the stack-on lockers for ammo and mags too.

Re: Where do you guys store your ammo?
If I had any ammo; I would keep my match grade ammo in my large safe with the rifles.
All other ammo goes in ammo cans and in the smaller safe.

If I had any ammo I would keeep my match grade ammo in the safe with the rifles. All other would go in GI cans and into the smaller safe!

Store your ammo in the magazines your weapons prefer.

Re: Where do you guys store your ammo?
My factory ammo is mostly in ammo cans, my reloads mostly in plastic ammo boxes in my basement.

Re: Where do you guys store your ammo?
Large locking plastic file storage boxes, clear, hard plastic, with locking handles. I stock them and separate them by long rifle and assault, pistol, and shotgun. I have 3.

Loaded in mags, and in GI ammo cans according to caliber and weight.

Re: Where do you guys store your ammo?
Oh, in addition to ammo cans and stackons, I like to keep the 5.56 and 7.62 on strippers stacked in the ammo cans, just like they come in the army. Just a habit, and I have around 100lbs. of them. 1180 or some such fits in a can (I forget and don't want to dig it out, its painted on the side). I'll probably try this with .300BLK too. I tried to use AK strippers for 6.5G but it didn't work too well, sold 'em to an AK fan.
I HATE loading mags one by one, and I figure if I NEED it NOW, I'll want them like that.
Funny thing, in the army, the guys on range detail who loaded our ammo for us on a spendex would ALWAYS unload the strippers, and THEN load the mags. Dildos.
This is all for stored stuff. For test loads, small amounts etc., I just use plastic boxes and keep 'em on a shelf. Pistol target ammo goes in Ziploc freezer bags.
This thread may sound stupid to some, but brass can and will corrode over time if not careful, and render the ammo unsafe. Store your shit properly, and make sure your ammo is clean to begin with. Had to trash a bunch of good 7.62 match grade brass due to improper storage.

Re: Where do you guys store your ammo?
On a shelf...in the cardboard boxes they came in.
I shoot it to fast to worry about a dedicated storage location.
