    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.

    ..........
    If it was easy, anybody could do it.

    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 truly believe we need to get back to basics.

    Get right with the Lord.
    Get back to the land.
    Get back to thinking like our forefathers thought.


    May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you
    and give you His peace. Let all of the earth – all of His creation – worship and praise His name! Make His
    praise glorious!

    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.

    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.

    Chinese takeout food containers

    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.

    Ziploc bags for brass. Rubber Maid Tall containers for bullets.

    For brass I am using the plastic shoe boxs from the dollar store. for boolits I am using some plastic sample containers that i picked up in a yard sale , each one will hold about 250 slugs depending on cal and weight of the slugs. mold number and size are on the top . 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.

    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.

    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....
