Since starting cast bullet storage has been an ongoing project in waiting. With my 1&2 cavity moulds even manic casting sessions only yielded a hundred or two at a sitting so the fantasy of having coffee cans full of bullets is a bit too far at this time. Perhaps after I retire and mama boots me out if the house to go play during the day.
But I digress, storage to this point has been various plastic take out and salvageable food containers. Being round and various sizes that corner of the bench left me unsatisfied and despite the tape and markings it was always a chore to dig through the pile to find my desired bullet.
After my father passed one of my tasks was to clean out his storage shed and I was once again reunited with the Caldweld slip top storages boxes. They measure out to about 3x3x7in making for a nice neat stack. He was a Journeyman Lineman (IBEW Local 1249) and whatever was in them (some sort of connector) he used a lot of, and brought home a pile of these things over the years. Pressed into service at the house they became the storage Tupperware of choice for nuts, bolts, screws and all manner of small hardware. I hauled all the boxes home and have been slowly going thru them and keeping the good and tossing the rest.
I finally reached a point where I had a couple of empties to bring in to try out and things are looking good so far. They fit well and take up less overall real estate than the oddball round take out containers, I can stack 3 high and they’re about the depth of my shelf. The label maker makes them even easier to tell what’s what. I’m not sure if I want to carry this on to rifle bullets. Perhaps I can devise some sort of solid divider to keep them separated. I have the plastic red garage trays and none of those dividers ever want to stay in place.
