ammo storage

[poster formerly know as Silverbullet]

Hello

I had seen on here someone had a bunch of 40 cal that someone had taken out of boxes and put in an ammo can. I was wondering if this damages it and how if it does. It seems it makes it more easy to store.

I also notice lots of .22lr comes this way. Is this because of the size of the ammo or that it is rimfire?

Thanks.

I have the .40 that's loose in a can.  I don't see where it damages it. It's not being tossed around or moved frequently. 

I find this method of storage a total pain in the rear. When I go to load mags, it's just one little extra step of fumbling with each round to orient it to load.  When you pick it out of a box, you're always grabbing the same part. 

Just my .02.

Thanks mossie. I was just wondering for a storage purpose. I can see how it will add time to loading though.
