Hey thanks for watching! Traditionally I would agree. Those buckets are small, floppy and don’t stack. Also lots of wasted space in round containers. Other than that. Yes!
@@stevesmith917 the white rem buckets only go about 2 maybe 3 high, the lids are soft and they are not stable. Also round things waste space of a shelf.
A thousand rounds per gun? I've got this stockpiling beat! As for . 22 I've 4k in CCI Blazer alone. Bought em back in 2015 when they cost 2.49 a box of 50. Miss those days.
Anytime you say numbers people get all weird. But from my perspective, advising people, 1000 per gun is a good number. Many of us shoot too much for that to be a good number but people can build on that as a base minimum.
Your best bet is to vacuum seal the ammo with a silica gel pack before putting in an ammo box and storing it inside. I've got ammo from the 80s that I vacuum sealed back then and stired in my closet and it's still like brand new. And you don't need to stock up 2 million rounds of anything for shtf two or three ammo boxes is sufficient for an absolute shtf situation.
I use a heat gun to remove that sticker. I've never had one remove cleanly like that. Maybe they recently changed the glue. I quit buying them from HF because of the aggressive glue they used on the label.
@@EagleRun23 How much do they cost by you? They are around $17/can over by me, and that's a price I'll never pay. I do have a bunch from when they could be had for under $10/can, and they seem to work as good as the old US cans.
@@shojus I bought a few extras this last time when they were on sale. I did a video on that. Maybe last fall? I don’t recall the price but ya $17 is a pass.
He stored his box of hollow points in my pj drawer. Now I can't get the smell out the drawer. I washed the clothes and put them back and again they smell like gun powder. I think it's in the wood, but febreeze, vinegar , charcoal has not worked. Any suggestions?
thats wild, I am a reloader and deal with raw gunpowder all the time, I have never noticed and my wife has never mentioned it. One box of just 25 bullets did that?
Yes. Two clips were loaded and placed in the drawer. I can wash the clothes and remove the smell. If I place back in the drawer the items smell absorb the smell again. It is wild.
A bucket of 22lr. And here in Spain you can only buy boxes up to 50 bullets, more expensive and with a limit of how many you can buy. The gun control laws here are absurd and don't make any sense 99% of the time. Enjoy your freedom over there guys, I wish we had the same
Those Remington .22s are the worst ammo Ive used. For slightly more I got the Fed Automatch, it works in all my .22 firearms not some of them. 22LR is a great caliber to store, considering how much it's gone up in price. I whine and cry when l get a brick of my hunting ammo 60gr SSS Aguila 120 for 500, 1 brick a year along with a few bricks of Automatch for plinking. Doing that means I'm slowly building my stash up.
@@J-Bones87 ok I have a bunch of AK mags that I’d like to use but I never found an 80% lower with those. Always sold out. Wish I had one now that 80’s are blown up.

Just buy ammo... If you live in a house, and not in the woods, or on a raft on the ocean, nothing you do to your ammo will extend it's life expectancy. Ammo doesn't go bad, no matter how much RUclips videos want to tell you, unless it's wet or hot cold/hot cold. ...you also don't need desiccants. If it's that "moist" inside your home, you've got more things to worry about than ammo.
Stocking up at these prices is real dumb, even if on sale! If you are just starting out you are late to the game. Bad timing 🤣. Wait until people start getting laid off here in the next 6 months and prices on everything else continue to skyrocket. Ammo will get cheaper because the need will go down. All of the gun shops in my area are packed with ammo. Best prices in a year but still to high. People have less money to spend right now. That will only get worse. I would say wait if you plan on stacking. If you need to get a box to go plinking or because you just got a new gun, cool. But stacking at these prices unless you have a disposable income is retarded.
Bro thinking prices are going to go down versus up in the future is the retarded thought. 😂 stocking up now vs later is smart, because it for 100% fact is going to get MORE expensive. As if life’s going to get better lmfao
@@EagleRun23 about the same out here in Oregon. $15 a box for 9mm and $9 for 5.56. At least we have no sales tax in Oregon. People have definitely stopped buying ammo around here at the pace they were over the last two years. I'm seeing 150 gr FMJ 308 for $13 and it's just sitting not getting any love. Same stuff was flying off the shelves last year at $19 to $25 a box. I'm glad to see people won't have a problem finding hunting ammo this year at least on the common calibers.
I have no ammo limits, just stack as much as possible within my set price limits. 👌
AMEN BROTHER..... same here
Correct answer is, “As many rounds as you can afford and want to have”
all the ammo! :)
Keep them stored in the containers they come in. They’re air tight

$86 at Walmart tonight

@Steve Nowak 250! Golly. I can only imagine how much ammo is squirreled away in this country. Haha I love it!
Really good video! Number is very on person to person with the room they have available. Plus stored correctly. Echo
Shotgun and a 10/22. Perfect.
thats probably my go to combo.
I try to stock 22LR whenever I can people think I'm crazy but it is my SHTF survival gun.
gotta be prepared!

Use a blow dryer or heat gun to warm up the big stickers to pull them off. Obviously do this when there is no ammo in the can
Been buying a ton of the 325ct Federal Automatch for $22, was cheaper about a year ago closer to $18.. My Walmart never has the buckets
good round the automatch. and 22 is the right price. I got lucky 2x on the buckets! I saw them yesterday at cabellas for $129. I paid like $79
@@EagleRun23 Yea bass pro by me charges like $32 for the 325ct of automatch.. Its even listed for $30 on Federals website..
I use mason jars with tight rubber seal. Just the right size and very air tight.
you put silica gel in there ???
Good video brother.
"God forbid, a 40!?!" Little tongue and cheek diss there. That one hurt where it counts!
Some folks appreciate a little ribbing. :)
The consumptive use training several times a week requires 15k rounds annually
very true!
Yeah sadly that’s unrealistic for most people.
We use 22 all the time mainly for predator control. But one good combat weapon and 1 back up.

Off topic: A 30 cal metal can is able to hold up 3000 rounds of 22 LR.
Plus they’re not ridiculously heavy.
They also make a bucket o bullets in 9mm there's like 450 rounds in it.
What's wrong with the bucket the ammo comes in?
Hey Doug! Sure. Storage issue. The kids are weak and can only stack 2. 3 gets real wonky. Also round things waste space on shelves.
A hair dryer or a heat gun works great on the stickers . Take the ammo out first .
“God forbid a 40” 😂 just got back from scheels with 2,500 rounds of 40
Haha running joke. I don’t really care that much. But we dump on 40 for fun sometimes. :)
Brake cleaner will take those stickers and residue off easily than you can just wipe it off

I shot a 100 shot group of them a few weeks ago in my 10/22. It was a 8” group or so but no failure to fires, zero
@EagleRun23 I hear you, but I had a heck of a time with 2 different GSGs and all of my pistols with it. If it works for you that's 👍.
I wanna see how heavenly the can is 🤣😂
It’s heavenly. But freggin heavy too! Maybe 40 lbs? 50?
@@EagleRun23 sheessshhh !
What's the reason of taking them out of an airtight bucket
Bucket lids are flimsy and you can only stack them 2 high. Also round wastes space on shelves. :)
Nice
Thanks
Check the o ring
Spray some WD40 on the ammo can sticker and let it soak for a little bit, comes right off and no residue
i have two ARs one in 556 the other 7.62x39

Keep it in the airtight container.Thats what it’s for!!Looks like two buckets would fit in a H83 ammo container for safety and containment.
The og buckets aren’t airtight AND they don’t stack well.
