Re: Mags and Ammo storage at home ...
I keep most of mine in .50cal ammo cans and stack no more than 3 high. A .50cal can filled with .45 acp is pretty heavy. If you mean stacking just factory cartons then you can probably stack quite high. I have seen stores with them stacked 5' up. You have to remember the load is distributed across 50 load bearing surfaces and 4 cardboard edges.C-dub wrote:I've been thinking about starting my own ammo storage thread and then this one pops up. I only keep a couple of extra mags loaded at any one time, but I'm not worried about these.
After another thread about push-back, I am a little worried about the rest of the ammo. I'm wondering how many boxes high the rest of the ammo can be stacked before the weight becomes problematic. Any of you high-volume folks have any wisdom that you could enlighten us with regarding this?

IMy girls are now teenagers, so there isn't much risk of them playing with the ammo or teething on it or any thing like that. What do you think? Am I hypocritically lowering my standards or acknowledging the changing risks in my home?
