I have a couple of oversized "ammo cans" that used to store monocular night vision devices that I store my molds in. With desiccant packs I have had no issues. I only have a couple of handful molds so it serves my purposes.

JUST GOTTA LOVE THIS JOINT.
I reuse the boxes that moog brand automotive stabilizer links come in.
They are exactly the correct length/ width/ depth to hold the 4 cavity brass hollow point miha mold wrapped up in a clean cotton rag with handles attached, several pieces of 2 stroke wetted rags, oil bottle, both Allen keys, set of leather gloves, piece of 0000 steel wool for servicing the pins and extension rods, and a snap on brand long jaw needle nose pliars.
When I want to cast I grab the box, everything I may need is inside.

I bought the 4' wide HF toolchest for about $300 when I was organizing about 3-4 years ago. My pin gauges and mics are in there too.

Mal Paso means Bad Pass, just so you know.
I decided to cast after work today, so I fired up the furnace, then went to grab the box.

The steels that are not on handles get coated inside and out with Mineral Oil USP and rubber banned together and put in a plastic box.
Steel moulds on handles get a coating of the Mineral Oil and put on a shelf in a pan.
Aluminum & brass moulds don't get that coating, they are shelved clean.

I just throw them in the boxes they came in (Lee) or the many brass ones just lay on a shelf, all in a nice pretty row! Nothing special here. No need. Nothing rusts/oxidizes/tarnishes in the desert.
When a casting session is over, the last cast bullet, ball, or slick is left to cool in the mold. When the mold is cool/cold, it's wrapped tightly in Press 'n' Seal to keep the air out. Unwrapped, the mold is ready to go for the next casting session, no muss or fuss.
Ammo boxes just like my brass.
