Wow! I've been accussed of being anal-retentive, but
some of you fellas put me to shame.
I've got powder on my powder shelf. When I run low I buy
more. I've got LOTS of primers. I bought an unspeakable
amount after The Great Primer Scare. Bullets are on the bullet
shelf. I stock up when I can afford it or when I run low. I've
got lotsa bullets. Brass is on a set of shelves in labelled coffee cans,
old clear snack barrels (thanks to this forum - I forget who used
the pretzel barrels....), and 5-gallon pails. Brass is labelled as
to it's status - sized, trimmed (and to what length), primer status,
and date.
Loaded ammo is mostly in my ammo cabinet with a lock on
the door. I try to organize it by shelf/caliber. I'm not always
successful, as I once recall (pleasantly!) finding a 1,000 round
box of 9x18 cartridges that I'd forgotten I'd had. Still, I can put
my hand on anything I need in relatively short order.
Handloaded ammo is labelled with all of the pertinenet information.
As I own 6 presses at last count, I've started including in my loading
book notes what equipment was used to do what. Some combinations
work better than others.
Yeah, I could computerize the whole inventory, but life's just too short!
