I bought a Dymo Label Maker and it has been very useful around the house. I use it on my gun stuff like cleaning jags and accessories so I can identify them (I hate when jags and brushes don't have the caliber imprinted on them) and even ammo. I even use it on things like my spare barrels, OEM iron backup sights for my Sig MCX which I removed to add a scope, and other gun accessories/parts so that my brother knows what they are and doesn't throw them out or give them away.
Why do I do it for ammo? Well, so I know what I have and so that if anything happens to me my brother who would inherit all of my belongings would know what he was looking at. He's not into firearm hunting as much as I am, he's into bow hunting more, but he would most likely firearm hunt and it saves him the trouble of attempting to find out what the ammo is. I don't do it for all of my ammo just my more rare hunting stuff, when it comes to plinking ammo I'm sure he could figure that out, luckily a lot of rifle ammo and shotgun ammo has pictures of things like deer or turkeys on them so you have an idea of what the ammo is for, I assume because pistol hunting ammo comes in such small packages it's harder to put pictures of what it is for on them. I have a very young son and daughter and if something happens to me he would give my stuff to them when they are old enough if they want it so once again it'd be easier to identify what they have.
Lot's of things I have I can just use a permanent marker on like my drybox of muzzleloading stuff, I just wrote "Muzzleloader" on it so they know what's in the box and there are quite a few boxes.
Just wondering if anyone else does this or if I'm just crazy.
Also, here's a pic of Jerry Miculek's basement.....wouldn't want to sort through all of that and definitely wouldn't be labeling it all. lol!!!
