Labeling your ammo cans, using obscure names for the Caliber....

[STFU]

My line of thought is that labeling is not only for me, but to help someone else, should they need to be able to identify some of this stuff without me. I need to get to labeling and organizing ammo a bit more. I have labeled the firearms that I may store in boxes besides the one they came in (i.e. they came in cardboard and I am storing them in the safe in a plastic box for example).

Precisely.
My son will take all of this in the future (he is in TX and already reloads as well).
All of my reloads go into ziplock baggies with both the load data and the chrono info included. Anyone grabbing the bag knows what they are getting...including me.

Just color code. Don't have time for your fancy writing.

You can't fool us. Yours are all labeled Patronen....

Lol, the "Russian" calibers are in Cyrillic and I label the magazine tubs in Cyrillic too.

Mind you, German ammo is labeled pretty funny.

In English mind you......

Hate the metal GI cans (my dad loved em and had many).
Sound hurts my ears open/close.

I run the MTM plastic cans.
Masking tape label w Sharpie marker lettering.
General label of "12 ga slug" or specific like "WW DXP .243"

Found some 3.5" Federal steel goose loads from the early 90s (mine), stashed in pop's garage.
Reason I forgot em? Put in a GI can.

I thought maybe you had both OCD and Dyslexia.
