Keep in plastic buckets, have over 20 buckets of cast lead in the garage each with the cast ingots made from the Lyman mold. Will use up the lead in about 10 years if I live that long. Have collected and smelted lead for a few years and now have enough for my life time. Use a lot of lead when the automated MasterbCaster is in operation. Keep several thousand powder coated bullets ready for reloading for my family.
