Packing your 223/556 Ammo In USGI Bandoleers For Storage

A very handy way to pack your rifle ammo away in a neat easy to carry package. Fits into an ammo can for safe storage but is easy to get at should you need it quickly. While heavy, one of these Bandoleers will fit neatly in your bug out bag or gear.

It would be nice to see a supplier sell the complete set of bandoliers, clips, boxes and whatever else to fill an Ammo Can (7 Bandoliers ect, ect) instead of just individually. Every one I've checked, sells everything individually and not as complete sets.

[@80spodcastchannel]

the pro move is then you place one stitch in to the lips to keep them from dislodging, the one stitch is easy to rip open.. good video !!!

[@metaltrooper62]

Awesome video! The bandoleers are great for storing ammo. I have several that I loaded then vacuum sealed for long term storage.

[@Iridium242]

oh now thats a good idea.. vac seal it once its all set up. Thanks!

[@mountainghost556]

This is a really good video,one of the most efficient way, to store and transport rounds plus loading rounds for sustainment. Thought I was the only one that does this.

[@Iridium242]

Yeah its very handy thats for sure. Been doing this for a long time myself.. They stack in ammo cans nice and neat! Thanks

[@SurviveN2]

I'm used to using the older ones, I haven't seen these newer ones, thanks for sharing this 😉

[@Iridium242]

Yeah I forgot to show one of the older ones, I have one filled with ammo in one of my cans.. but I figured I would let people know the difference :) Thanks for watching!

I generally buy the 420 count cans from Federal. Only come with a single spoon and no bandoliers. Are boxed and clipped, though. Need to just buy a bunch of the bandoliers and repack my cans, honestly.

[@danmurray2590]

Thanks man. Very informative!

[@jopalo31675]

Pull the white string and you can fit your magazines directly into the bandolier pouch. Thats the way I carried my extra mags.

Happy New year Long life and prosperity

[@Shadow_TA]

Cool

[@hallard069]

The only time it's ok to have strippers in the house when the wife is home! If you pull the white cotton string you can fit the ar mags into the pockets too. I keep a pair of 50 cal cans full of bandoliers and labeled 'neighborhood watch\ rifle ammo'.

[@kuntakinte1416]

What happens if I store it in the Bandolier without the cardboard box ?

[@lowkey1969]

It rattles, and it will take you longer to fish out the loaded stripper clips. If you don't want to buy the cardboard inserts, or simply don't have them, you can cut some from pasteboard/cardboard, or old ammo boxes.

[@jean-claudeseagal7822]

so how do you pack it into the can so it all fits?

[@Iridium242]

I just fold them on over the other, wrap it up with the bandoleer and put it in, In a 50 cal can you should be able to get about 5 ot 6

[@jean-claudeseagal7822]

+Iridium242 cool video!! i just figured out how to get 840rds and 7 bandoliers into one of those ammo cans 5 hours ago.

[@jean-claudeseagal7822]

+Iridium242 I was looking all over and only found one video that shows how to do it.

[@Iridium242]

Cool, glad you got it figured out, I have been doing it for a while so I forget that others might not know how to do it! Its a super fast way to load up mags if you need to, and it stores nicely too. Thanks for watching!

[@tddietzman]

Where might one find the cardboard boxes, Iridium242?

[@tddietzman]

Never mind...found it on Amazon!

[@Iridium242]

Look for USGI 5.56 Bandolier Repack Kits, you can find them all over ebay and on the web as well, they should not be too expensive either.

[@tddietzman]

Thank you!
