Four (4) 4-drawer filing cabinets (LOAD Test) in the 2nd floor reloading room work for me (may not be sufficient for those with more than 16 calibers), steel ammo cans in the shed for brass (not shown), and "miscellaneous" in an assortment of containers from sandwich meats, spaghetti sauce, mayo, peanut butter, and pretzels, to name a few on a shelf at eye level.

Mr Sheesh, yes I could. I actually have covers on all my cast boolits except that one. I'm kind of leaving it as a gauge. Gives me an idea of how fast they oxidize.
Anytime my wife is removing older food storage containers with snap top lids I snap them up and put them to work.
Squach1 yes, more about my health than theirs.
I also use the round Folgers plastic containers, those square butter containers and anything else like those for cases. I don't cast my own, so, bullets are in the boxes they come in. Hornady, Missouri, etc. I never knew we drank that much coffee!
I use plastic containers I find at garage sales and thrift stores. Quite a collection of Tupperware, etc. HA
Brass is stored in freezer bags, loaded brass is stored the same way but in an ammo can.
Bullets and buckshot is stored in plastic tubs I get at the dollar store.

38lbs of powder coated 00Buck in each
I repurpose the containers that my cats treats come in, they have screw on lids. I also collect Wood Cigar boxes that the nearest Smoke shop saves for me.
the plastic fast food containers work pretty good for small batches, but are a bit weak filled full of lead. the clear plastic nut jars and tennis ball jars are good as well.
The Chinese carryout containers that I get are cheap Styrofoam. Good chinese though!
Ziploc bags for brass. Rubber Maid Tall containers for bullets.Quote:

E Z to see which I need more of.
Like several others, I use peanut butter jars and square nut jars for boolits. I used to use the tall wide mouth plastic jars that Miracle Whip salad dressing came in. They changed to smaller mouth and now we throw them away.
For brass I use big square containers that construction screws come in. A friend owns a construction supply and always has empties. I also use gallon ice cream buckets and tall Folgers coffee cans. The coffee cans hold almost as much as the ice cream buckets.
The Folgers cans aren't clear but wide blue painters tape and a Sharpie can hold a full description of contents.
Are use these containers from the dollar tree they stack well they have a nice tight lid best off they’re cheap I keep one of raw as cast powder coated bullets and then another for different sizes and then I put them in a row. They hold quite a lot 5-600 30 cal bullets and like 2000 32 auto bullets lolAttachment 288952. For brass I have 3 gallon buckets with lids(ask any local bakeries to save them for you I get mine for free) and I keep uncleaned brass in one and then cleaned and polished brass in a big 3 drawer divider from walmart
Clear 36oz Milkbone containers with screw on lids, my yellow lab gets the treats and I get the empty container. One will hold 270+ 308 cases, 1k 124gr 9mm bullets, fill with corn cob or walnut media, etc.
I’ve been using mayonnaise and peanut butter jars for boolits and cat litter jugs for brass.Attachment 289071Attachment 289072
We go through a lot of the big jars of peanut M&Ms from Sam's. They work great. Just know a jar full of boolits weighs over 25lbs. Handle with a little care....
all my brass is in medium postal shipping boxed free my tax dollars, and bullets in the standard 500 round size from casters at the shows like 3x2x8 ordered from amazon or somewhere.
