tumble lubed boolit storage??

[troy_mclure]

how do you store your tumble lubed boolits?

[44mag1]

In a cartridge above some powder and a primer.

[BABore]

In a bag. After I tumble the dried, lubed boolits in motor mica.

[pdawg_shooter]

A zip-lock bag with a label inside.

I've been using cheap plastic storage containers from the dollar store. Use small containers, as they get HEAVY fast.

[Shiloh]

Plastic containers.
Different varieties.

+1 to above. Make sure they are substantial enough to handle the weight without caving in, spilling the contents when picked up. Jon must have a Dollar Store that has a better kind.
The ones here are too flimsy.

Corn starch or talcome/baby powder will do the same!!

Plastic peanut butter jars.

i was a boolit buyer before a caster so i saved my heavy duty boxes them store bought boolits came in

I wa getting the plastic boxes from $ stores but it's hard to get ones of the same size so they stack neat. One time you go there they have one kind and next time who knows. I started getting those cheap disposable plastic microwaveable tubs. They are cheap yet strong and I can get the same size every time. They also hold together better and are pretty much air tight.

I use those Ziplock or Glad plastic containers.

[John Guedry]

The empty tin boxes Altoids mints came in + a little mica to keep 'em from sticking together.

Cardboard box's like an empty Hornady bullet box.

If you are talking about LLA bullets, when they arive here,(Customers that are not satisfied with the GOO in the botom of the box!) they go thorugh the machines again....they are melted again, and turned into bullets that are clean to handle, with adequate lube that does not stink, soil everything that it comes in contact with, etc..

Those of you that like LLA are welcome to it!

I would quit shooting before I would put up with that stuff!

[ghh3rd]

I've been putting them in 1 gal freezer bags. If I keep them in those long enough, they will deteroriate and fail and I'll have boolits all over the place. Perhaps I should raid my sons cigar box collection.

[troy_mclure]

i just got 4 large ziplok tubs for $2.50. thanks for all the ideas!

Akro bins. They come in various sizes and are stackable. They have a lip at the rear that hooks on the edge of my portable reloading stand.

how do you store your tumble lubed boolits?

Someone else in another thread mentioned buying the small cardboard boxes from Uline office supply ( http://www.uline.com/product/BoxListing1.htm ). Their S-4040 is a 4" x 4" x 4" box and they are only 15 cents apiece in lots of 25 so I ordered a 25 pack.

They are somewhere in Texas and I had the order next day here in Kansas with standard UPS shipping.

Good, sturdy boxes and they hold about 500 boolits or more depending on caliber. They come flat and you gotta open 'em up, but that way they store in less space until you need 'em.

Cheaper than the Wally World plastic ones and at .15 apiece you don't feel so bad about throwing them in the recycle bin when they get all grundged up with lube after a number of uses. Gotta admit though, I like 44mag1's idea of storing 'em on top of the proper amount of powder in cartridges better - :-D

are stored in glass jars on a shelf. Already paid for the jars, so I'm not gonna pay for another container.

[Huntducks]

I use empty shotshell box's either 20ga 28ga even some 410 if I find them.

Go by your local trap & skeet range and rumage thru the cans.

[m14man]

empty big yogurt containers. not too heavy
