For center fire, I replace my carry fodder about every five years and for that certain things are important: cartridge designation, bullet grain weight, type bullet, nose configuration, the "P" designation and etc.. Over the years I have noted that generally Remington likes green, Hornady likes red, Winchester seems to like black and white and I forget the others. I could be wrong. The pretty boxes just get pitched anyway.
All my home brew stuff is very bulk and generally is stored in plain heavyweight shipping boxes of stuff I've received or Wal Mart $0.69 plain cardboard boxes. I do label my stuff with load specifics.
For .22 Long Rifle, I buy what I can when I can and try and stay away from the "junk" stuff. Packaging does help in that but some of the worst has pretty boxing too.
