what type of container do you like to store your boolits in

[Cane_man]

now that i cast of my first batch of 100, not sure where to keep them for a while...

what type of storage container do you like to use, plastic bin, cardboard box? and where do you get them?

[chsparkman]

Any container that you can live with on or below your bench is fine. Covered is best to keep the dust out until you load them.

[gwilliams2]

Plastic coffee cans work just fine for me...

[Beagle333]

I like to store em in Brass! One per case works just fine.
(sorry, I couldn't resist)

Okay.... really... I store mine in ziplock sammich bags labeled with a magic marker and stacked/piled in shoeboxes. (I'm not too fancy)

I do really like those green boxes in the picture though.

I use uline cardboard bins on a racking system.

[HangFireW8]

I use Dollar Tree Rubbermaid brand Made in USA food storage containers, they come 2 or 3 to the pack for a buck, depending on the size. As chsparkman said, it has to fit in your storage area, and it has to be covered in some way to keep the dust out- also helps keep the loob from drying out. Since they seal, once the vapor pressure of loob volatiles reaches a certain point it stays at equilibrium and the loob drying slows to a veritable standstill.

There is no one "right" answer to this question. There are some wrong answers. Corrogated brown cardboard is OK for very short term storage- just OK- I prefer to avoid it. It makes its own dust and it absorbs the volatiles from the loob. White, waxed flat white cardboard is much better, but it still doesn't seal.

i use these

[detox]

Hefty quart size Slider bags. These have stronger seal than Ziplok bags. They also have a White background on bag to wright bullet info. I use a permanent Sharpie pen to write

These clear bags also work verygood for applying liquid Alox lube. Insted of tumbling you just roll inside bag. You can see if all are coated.

[Michael J. Spangler]

Baby formula cans.
They stack up fast. They're heavy duty, hold a good bunch of ammo or boolits and have a nice tight lid.

[Buck-N-Rut]

Tennis ball cans. I don't play tennis though. Too much running.

[Kull]

Large ice cream pails, tobacco cans, cigar boxes, etc.

[Iowa Fox]

Anything I find thrown away for free with a nice snap on lid. Keeps the bullets clean and the air away from the lube.

[runfiverun]

5 and 7 gallon buckets.
I also use 5x5x4 boxes, i went and bought 500 of them some time back.
I think I figured about right i'm almost halfway through them.
the problem isn't so much what to put them in, it's where to put them.

[David2011]

Mostly the 4x4x4 cardboard boxes like commercial casters use. Any bigger and they get heavy fast. Unless in a very humid area cardboard tolerates stacking for a pretty good while. The rest are stored in heavy poly bags with a locking seam. A product I receive in quantity at work comes with the manuals in these bags which have a tiny hole in both sides inthe middle of the bag so excess air leaks out. We don't want the end recipient to receive the factory manuals so they would otherwise be trash. I use them for boolits and loaded ammo and then put them in steel ammo boxes.

I like the plastic pencil boxes. You can get 'em for 97 cents at Wally world.

[725]

Tuna fish cans. Built a shelf / rack to fit the cans so they store easy and get to. Shelves are as deep and tall as the cans.

[dmclark523]

I use whatever I have laying around... old cool-whip bowls are the best. When i'm done lubing and sizing, i'll usually put them into baggies.

[btroj]

Whatever I can find.

[Any Cal.]

Small peanut butter jars. Screw top lid, stack well, hold 1-200 depending on boolit. Clear sides and you can write on the lid w/ a sharpie.

[nwellons]

I generally eat turkey or ham sandwiches for lunch and always buy the same brand. The containers are great for storage and if they get greasy or nasty, I just throw them away because I am constantly getting new (free) ones.
