A good amount of may .223 reloads are stored in the magazines in the cases the rifles/carbines are in.
The extra is stored in ammo cans (a couple cases of store bought ammo) and the rest is stored in washed out plastic pretzel, candy and coffee containers.
I right a note and place in the top of the container with the date the ammo was loaded, the bullet, power and primer info/make and the charge weight.
