Moving ammo


Recommended Posts

I’ve never had the experience of moving guns, ammo and safes from one place to another until this past week. We just finished today, and before I do it again I’ll sell damned near everything. It’s a butt kicking.

I'm sure some young whispersnapper from TGO would love to help you next time for a reasonably small percentage.

I've moved four times in four years. Even with the right equipment, it's a nightmare.

I've already told the wife to plan on burying me in the backyard.

I know this sentiment. It sounds great after you move it, but trust me , keep it all!!! I moved two palettes of ammo from CA out here in 2018, after already moving it between 2 houses in CA the prior year.

We rented on arrival, starting looking to buy. Early 2019 I wanted to avoid moving 5000lbs of ammo and ending up selling 70% of it by early summer. There was a multi year Ammo glut after all,  no problem replacing after we bought a house.

6 months later… Pandemic. Im running thru the hold me over allotment for certain calibers. It wasn’t supposed to be 3 years. 

I started to have to ration ammo for the first time!! Never again. You simply can’t predict  insanity. 

BTW, turns out an F150’s capacity is greatly understated. it absolutely can carry 2.5 tons in the bed. At least 11 miles. The only challenge is seeing the roads over the hood. You end up having to use car roofs as reference points.

LOL! I told my wife once that if we moved, I’d like to sell to someone who even shears the same size clothes as me and just sell it fully furnished.

Moving sucks!!!

You know those 20mm and 40mm surplus ammo cans that are great for storing ammo in?  Don’t.😀

Because they get to heavy?  😂 I have one I use for ammo that is not currently in smaller cans. I can barely pick it up and it is not full.

I won't ever do it again either, what a pain in the a$$ loading and moving an 850# empty safe by myself let alone the ammo, reloading supplies, and  the rest of the crap. I did that three times so far and I won't do it again, id as soon take a good a$$ whooping than do that again.
