: What do you Use for Pellets?
: hiroller April 20, 2008, 02:23:48 AM

I don't like the tins pellets come in, especially those that don't seal.  I have found that the round Ice Breakers containers work great for myself.  My nieces love these mints and are always buying them so there's always a supply of these plastic containers.  The "to share" flip top on it works perfect for me.   I'm sure many of you have found other means of storing your pellets and I'd like to hear what you use.

I have these little boxes that I got from a local sporting goods store called Otter Boxes.

They're about the size of a business card and about an inch thick. Water & air tight, foam lined, and I can fit one in each of my back pockets.  Best of all they cost me about a buck fifty each (they were on clearance)!

TicTac containers work well to, I got a couple that I use when I'm out hunting. Just pop the little lid and drop a pellet out. :) Ed

35mm film canisters work well, used to have a 2 canister pouch with a belt loop a free bee from a camera magazine, which i used to put over the side lever on my m52 so i could not forget to bring pellets.  at the moment i have a little camo pouch for some toy that is fitted with a plastic clip and i just clip it onto the trigger guard
also use some sweet tubes (smarties i think) that have cap that is attached to the body

when hunting or plinking i usually transfer 20-30 into the turn up on my tight fitting woolly hat, i find it a lot easier for cold hands to find a pellet there and it also stops them getting squashed and falling out holes in pockets etc, you look a bit strange but don't knock it till you try it (people who live in Florida or other hot parts of the world please disregard this) :D

Well I have to say that the Ice Breaker Plastic round containers are great..:) I buy the Cinnimon Red ones...and the best part is they are sugar free..hehe. Also the container has two openings. The large side and a small side which is great for rolling out one or two pellets at a time.. Gene
