    Boolit Storage Box's

    Cardboard with lids attached work good for storing boolits, etc.

    I have stuff stored in them as well. Mine are all salvaged mailers.

    Garage sale plastic ware works well also. Seems I have boolits and reloading stuff stored in just about everything.

    I like the metal cookie or fruit cake tins I get at the second hand stores for a quarter. The tins are strong and seal nicely, I spray them with a clear acrylic I get at Wallyworld for a dollar a can to seal them from rusting. Strong, and cheap what more could you ask for?

    We get a lot of samples in them at work and I grab them before they get trashed. You can fill them with bullets and they wont collapse. I just tape over the ends and write all the info on the tape. We also get some smaller really sturdy slip top boxes that I use for smaller bullets.

    I like the plastic coffee containers with the snap lids. Can get a lot of boolits in them!

    I'd seen these before. And I actually have a designed a boolit box. But I decided to buy a 50 pk of the 4x4x4 tucking lid boxes. Thanks for the link.

    I envy those of you with a dry area, that don't have to worry about cardboard falling to pieces.
    I bought (1987) a case of rigid clear plastic containers with sealing lids at a wholesaler. They nest, hold a liter, are transparent, and fit three high, in my metal shelves. I think the case held 96, and cost $13. I still have about 30 in the box.
    A liter is about all I care to handle, and lasts a long time.
    Before finding them, I used anything that would contain them without getting dirty, but having to move and open all the different containers got to be a chore. Now their organized in lots less space, and I can tell at a glance, what and approx. how many.

    Me too... I print a label with the mould description on the side and lid. I only use these for unlubed boolits.

    Those that have been lubed get their on little wooden tray that I build so they can stand upright. I then label the sides and stack them by caliber.

    I use empty powder cannisters. Put masking tape over the label and use a sharpie to label.

    Clear plastic food jars, makes it easy to see what they are and how much you have.

    If someone finds a cheaper source for the indestructo mailers, post a link here please. I just tried to oder some from this company and the shipping was extremely overpriced. $35 for a hundred boxes! I will post a link to a new one when I find a cheaper place.
