How to Properly Pack an Ammo Can with Precision!
About this video
McPhee demonstrates his method for packing and storing ammunition in standard ammo cans, covering moisture protection, organization, and labeling techniques. He explains his process for maximizing storage capacity, using silica packets, and marking cans with caliber, grain weight, round count, and packing date for long-term preservation.
Key takeaways
- McPhee uses black foam padding from packaging on the bottom of ammo cans to keep rounds elevated and allow silica packets to absorb moisture that settles
- McPhee color-codes the sealing tape on each can and writes detailed information including round count, grain weight, ammunition type, and packing date for easy identification
- McPhee includes the original ammunition box label inside the sealed can as a reference and places silica packets both below and above the ammunition to manage any internal moisture
