    Favorite ASBBDT containers

    What are your favorite ASBBDT containers

    #1 COMPANY APPEARS TO HAVE GONE OUT OF BUSINESS
    good for large batches, you can really get the boolits moving



    #2 good for large batches, nice fitting lid ( no longer made )



    #3 good for smaller batches, solid container, good sealing lid (has rubber gasket and 4 locks)




    #4


    I've tried a few

    Grmps got me using his #1 pictured bowl. Does leak from taking top off/on -- no biggie

    They're made here in Houston but haven't been able to contact them to see if they would sell in bulk to individual.

    Grmps find his on Amazon but they no longer offer it

    I ONLY use ZipLok screw-on containers and CoolWhip. They work 100% Every time. ZL’s do not leak!!!!!! And I rarely eat CW anymore.

    That is why all my BBDT boolits are 99.9% perfect every time!

    I just use what works.

    I'm also a ziplok guy. The idea of the lid popping off, ugh.

    OK I tried the zip-lock, not a fan with the longer 309-230 boolits but did great for "normal size" boolits
    I found that gripping the top (like palming a basketball) holding my arm at my side and rotating my lower arm in a circle really got the boolits moving with less effort on my part.

    I prefer sherbet containers over Cool Whip. The lids snap on better and are thicker.

    I really like the ones I picked up at Walmart. Heavy #5 with 4 hinges on the load and low sides. Easy to extract boolits and has an o-ring seal to heel out moisture between tumbling sessions. About $4 each, but a longterm investment. I have one for every color PC. They also snap together on top of each other (lid snaps to bottom of another container.

    Sorry to thread kack, but how do you decide when to use or not use ASBBs, and whrn you do how do you separate them out?

    I actually don't even use BB's anymore. I did when I first started, but found them to be more time consuming having to separate them from the boolits. Now I just put about 250 9mm boolits in my vibe tumbler with some powder, put the lid on it and cover it with a micro fiber cloth and let it run for about 5 minutes. Perfect 100% coverage with almost every one of smokes colors.
