Pellet transportation?

[Tn_airgunner]

Ok not sure if I'm posting this in the right forum. Forgive me if I am. I was just thinking what is some of the ways y'all transport your pellets/Pellet tins. To the range. If your like me you like the take alot of different pellets and brands. I've had several times that the pellet tins have spill in my range bag. Just wondering what y'alls ideas are for storing and moving them back and forth to the range. I can't shoot where I live so I have to go to a gun range or a family member that has land. Any advice is helpful

After inspecting, sizing, washing and lubing I store my pellets on the below plastic containers. The lid has a silicon o-ring that air seals the container. On the high humidity months I add a small silica gel bag inside for long storage. The lid is threaded. No risk for accidental spillages. Each container holds 500 pellets.

What pellet tins are using? I've never had JSB or H&N spill.

After I wash and sort my pellets I put them in plastic jars (4oz&8oz)with a screw cap I purchased a cheap plastic tool box at Lowe’s to transport them

I like that idea. Where do u get sealed jars like that with the sealed O-ring. I like the jsb tins since they have the foam to help protect the pellets. Be nice to have sealed jars with padded protection also.

if you put a bit of sponge or similar foam, to prevent them flying around loose, any container will do

I bought mine in Brazil but they are made in Vietnam. I think you can find them easily on kitchen utensils shop in the USA. I also used to cut and adapt the JSB foam on the bottom but at the end it interfere with the lubing, removing them from the bottom pellets. That's why I don't use it anymore.

That is the brand Lock & Lock. See something similar here: https://www.amazon.com/LockandLock-Round-Container-Locking-0-4-Cup/dp/B0000AN4CX/ref=sr_1_20?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1512252461&sr=1-20&keywords=lock+%26+lock+plastic+food+container+sealed

I just use a pair of cheap, foam filled, plastic pistol cases. Place as many as will fit, and close the lid. Good handle too. Never had any spill out in transit, the foam snugs the lids on so they don't spill. My one case will hold about 8 tins, while my larger cae will hold about a dozen.

not that I bother but f you screw the lid on with a piece of saran wrap on jar top it would seal well.

I was told by someone on this forum that the foam holds moisture. That is why I dont store any airguns in the hard cases with foam. Do you notice anything in your pellet tin?

 

[sirk]

sure it does, when you pull one out of the sink LOL

Tupperware hamburger patty storage containers. I have never dropped one but they are very stable and will not tip over.
The lids are snug and you can stack them without fear of them crushing each other.
I find them in garage sales, flea markets and thrift stores cheap! They hold 500 .22 no problem.
