I store mine in the styrofoam inserts from factory ammuniton boxes. Usually pick up half a dozen on any given day at a public shooting range

The boxes factory ammo (such as 9mm) can be used for this purpose. I often find this sort of stuff at the range on the bench or in the trash and have used them for sending boolits.

Years ago when I was a buying from a local bullet caster , I got little boxes of 100 bullets that were stacked in arrays and layers in the box. If you have odd room left , some folded paper could take up the slack.

The hospital lab saves the styrofoam trays that the blood vials come in and gives them to me. nice, protected cavities for boolits.

I do it the easy way. [smilie=s: I use soft Felix and my boolits have lube all over them. I pack them in an empty cookie tin loose. They stick together nicely in a huge clump! :bigsmyl2:

If you have a food vacuum sealer, you can package them in bunches of about 100 or so and vacuum seal them. They'll stay tight and not move around.

Hope this helps.
