45 Colt ammo in new "rustic" container

Post by PT7 » Mon Jul 29, 2019 4:20 pm

I just received my order of Choice 45 Colt ammo today. Not an earth-shattering post; just a fun foto. (Also helps me remember what ammo is stored in what container when I document with photos).

I think this is my third or fourth order from this company since I got my Russian top break last year. They must have changed the packaging, or alternate what they use....don't know for sure.

Anyway, all previous orders came in a plastic jar as seen on the left.
I like this more rustic-looking bag, which my 250 rounds are in.
Seems to somehow make Cowboy-action ammo more Cowboy. :D

P.S. Doesn't that Henry Orange towel highlight our photos nicely?

That container is more likely closer to those that carried tobacco than ammo, but you're right... it is more rustic than a plastic jug. Cool bag. I'd keep it when it was empty.

The towel is a great backdrop for the story you're telling. I'm a sucker for fabric bags like that, too. And leather ones, and burlap ones.

Thanks for the pic!

Yup, it'll be a keeper. It is pretty stout material to be able to tote 250 rounds of 45 Colt bullets.
Just might find I can carry some BP supplies in it when I go to a shoot. Little like a "possibilities bag," sans the pockets.

No tobacco smell when I opened the box, so this bag missed that use! :lol:

Yeah, cool bag.
What did you give for the 250 rds., if you don't mind me asking?

Agreed on the per round cost. I don't exactly recall how I found this MT company, which hand loads CAS ammo. Glad I did.

It suits my need to feed my 45 Colt revolver, and the ammo (as far as I can tell) is quality. Most of all, the Choice Folk have been very helpful as I researched their load data, and especially they always have provided good CS to me. They don't yet beat Henry's CS, but they try hard. I'll continue to use them.

I think their products will continue to be in demand. There are a lot of Cowboy-action shooters out there! ;)

P.S. Whenever I look at the ammo on their website, I also enjoy some of the photos they use showing their MT location in the Bitterroot Valley. This pic isn't on their site, but it sure is purdy country. I could see living and working in this area!
