I use some Mirro cake pans with snap on metal covers, they’re long enough to hold molds with handles. I don’t oil any molds but my climate is relatively dry.
I never take the blocks off the handles once they are mounted. Always buy new handles with every mold unless it's Lee where they are included. I just store my Lee's in the box they came in. Still have boxes from the 1970's. For RCBS, Lyman, Noe and Accurate molds I put them in a big box with the blocks down and handles leaned against the outer top rim of the box. No preservatives or anything. Never had trouble with rust. I'm very careful not to bump or hit them against each other or anything else plus always careful to not slap the blocks together when retrieving one from the box.
I use 9x13 metal cake panes with snap on metal lids, long enough to hold molds with handles installed. I don’t oil the molds but have used VCI chips in the past. North central Oklahoma is pretty dry so I’m not sure the VCI chips made any difference.
