    How to deal to 2000 packets of 147 eldm's

    A zeropac solution to stopping bulk projectiles going slightly tarnished once the bulk pack has been opened.
    I have been using them for homemade jerky but then thought ideal for this as well.
    So these are zip loc bagz that you fill up and vaccuum seal the bottom end.
    Thanks Zeropac!

    I fill Tupperware containers to the brim and put the lid on

    Can easily store 10,000 each of 223, 7mm and 30 cal projectiles.

    10,000 primers fit in quite a small container

    I put a small card in each with the total numbers and subtract from (and record )that number each time I use them.

    A great way to store them and you can fit way more projectiles on a shelf

    Primers should always be stored in their original packaging. Primers stored loose in bulk are subject to detonation if jarred. You don't want 10,000 primers going off next to your foot if you drop the container.

    Why would you bother for a bit of colour change?
    Serious question?

    The lead and copper will eventually start oxidising. Controlling the exposure to air will help.

    I bag mine up in lots of 200 in zip lock bags.
    Add a few drops of oil and roll around to cover all of the bullets with a fine film of oil. Then just seal them up removing most of the air.
    Hunt safe, look after the bush & plug more pests. The greatest invention in the history of man is beer.

    A bit more bang is better.

    No lead exposed, plastic tips. If colour impacted performance, would they not all be painted red?

    Where do you buy bulk packs? I only seem to find the 100 packs.
