Lots of good info folks.
I'm sure what I have is paltry (41ar) and 16 Glock mags(I need more).
I was looking at transportation methods and I think I got a few ideas I can work with.
First one I already have an idea about just need to make sure it's cool.

No way I am trying to keep every mag I have loaded when things like stripper clips are readily available to load the ones I am using or want to use quickly. Aside of the fact that you can get a lot more ammo in the same size can when that ammo is on strippers vs it being in magazines...

IMO an unloaded mag is useless just like ammo not in a mag, what good is it going to do for me? single handload a round in the gun?

How long does it take YOU to load a magazine to capacity?
(does not take me long using strippers)
Not discounting 'used' strippers as they do last a lot longer than many seem to consider and they are useful to have around - but when even virgin strippers are soooo cheap and easy to find why not???

Bulk 5.56 is loaded into strippers, and stored in ammo cans, with a couple spoons sitting on top. My guess is that Sidneyious doesn't know how to use them.
I keep most of my M14 mags loaded, and they're sitting on a gun rack shelf.

Just grabbed 4 to try out, thank you for this post. I have too many to count Glock (26, 19, 17, 17L, 45, 44, 42, 43) mags from Glock and Magpul where available in addition to CZ, HK, Beretta, Kahr etc. BOATLOAD of pistol mags all over the place completely unorganized and a total mess I need to hit the range. Hoping this economical, stackable, markable solution is what I've been looking for.Pistol solution:
Each pistol has its own one of these ziplock large sealable bins labeled with the pistol model
Each ziplock bin is housed in one of the platic totes I use for rilfe mags, it will hold many stacks
Organized by pistol model....I have a lot of HK pistols, so I have an HK tote, full of different model HK ziplock bins with magazines for each different pistol model.

Dude, I own nearly 50 pistols. You wouldn’t believe the mess I had going on.
It took me 3 hours to find mags to go to the range and put me in a sour mood after searching. (Except for the one in the pistol of course.)
I got to shooting revolvers a lot because NO MAG search, complicated by the fact most look very similar without close inspection.
Glad it helped someone.

Then those plastic totes are shit. They're for storage/organizing. Not transportation. Drop one and watch your load spill everywhere. Big Mil cans with padding or a Homey Depot Tuff box would be good.

Pappabear uses that Homey Depot tuff box thingy for ammo boxes. It's tough as hell.. stackable and all that.
