Thanks for the link. Cheap price for the convenience, especially compared to how laborious it is for me to write legibly on anything!

Not that I am going to buy, but I will steal an idea for my own use!

I use a label maker for my ammo cans. Quite a bit cheaper than those magnets and a lot easier to read in my dim basement.

Guess I'm not very creative. I just use a magic marker.

Lately it seems used ammo cans are rare. My last ones were brand new and cost about the same if not less then the used ones.

Masking tape and a magic marker for me.

If purchased ammo, the date purchased in addition to whats inside.
If reloads, date I made them.

I too use a label maker on completed rounds and cleaned cases to keep tabs on what I have on hand.

I used to use the label tape, but recently switched over to spray painting. A coat of rustolem from Home Depot works really well. Keeps the can happy too.

I downloaded a stencil font for Windows, made a few stencils in Word, and cut them out with a utility knife. Cheap, easy, effective.

I just line them up in caliber order left to right - smallest to largest. I guess I'm really cheap.
