Had all my ammo stored in my safe, taking up needed rifle space.
Before I got the safe, I had been using a stack-on cabinet for gun storage. It was just sitting around, so I decided to bolt it into my home office and use it for ammo storage.
Purchased some "pilaster strips" (had never heard that term before) from Lowes:

Got 2 of the 72" long ones, and cut them in half with some tin snips to make 4 36" long pieces. Used some simple pop-rivets to mount the strips to the inside of the stack-on cabinet, and made some plywood shelves covered with toolbox drawer liner.

Was able to get all the ammo out of the main safe, and into the stack-on cabinet with a little room to spare. Used 2 lag screws thru the carpet into the subfloor, and 2 toggle bolts thru the drywall mainly to prevent tipping.
