OK This should be categorized under Mr. Mom.

What do you store your empties in. coffee can? mayo jars, original boxes?

I was looking for some clear square or rectangle boxes with lids and I found these. Lock & Lock boxes.

I use the stackable GladWare. Almost the same thing!

I use plastic jars with screw on lids. Peanut butter, doggie treats, mixed nuts, or any plastic jar with a screw on lid. My brass storage is on open shelving, so a variety of sizes doesn't bother me. It really helps that my daughter has three dogs!
GOOD LUCK and GOOD SHOOTING!!!

I use a bit of everything, from plastic 50 round boxes to factory paper boxes. I like to put my loaded rounds in Mid-Way paper boxes with my own labels on them.

But.....for brass storage

Zip-lock bags are by far the most used in my shop. I then write my info on the bag so I can remember what-was-what. I then toss it all in big Rubbermaid bins.

Anything I can find. I save plastic jars that have a good height-to-diameter ratio-- short and fat (like me) is preferred over tall and skinny. I include a slip of paper in each so I know what I have, because some are fully-processed (ready to load) and others may have been sized, but not trimmed, et cetera.

I use the Rubber Maid shoe boxes. They are good for some of the shooting quantities of brass to have handy to reload.

1 gallon zip lock bags in plastic milk crates for any sizable amount of brass. 5 gallon buckets for 223 and 9mm pistol brass.

Wally world does not have the Rubber Maid brand any more, and he replacement brand is barely acceptable. Probably fine, but Rubber Maid was so much better.

X2 but nothing round as it is a waste of shelf space. roger

I have to agree with Ted on the Zip Locks, but I even keep loaded in them. I tried the 50 Rd. boxes but found they take up to much space. I drive an SUV, and they seem to rattle a lot. I put 100 rds. to a baggie, and lable each as to contents. When going to shoot I put in an ice chest, so as to keep at an even temp, and the empties go in a GI ammo box still in the baggie. When I get home I load, they do not stay empty very long. I only have 3 or 4K of extra brass and I store in cardboard boxes so they are easy to stack.

I use the buckets that had litty litter in them. 40 pounds of kitty litter is about a 5 gallon bucket.

i use all kinds of stuff the best i have found is season containers. we boil crawfish down here and use alot of season. a good weekend we may end up with from 2-5 plastic containers that are about 1 gallon capacity with large screw on tops. i also work in a chemical plant so i have some plastic sample bottles that the various range pickup and bulk projectiles go in. oh and plenty of ziplocs.

most of the stuff i load is just plinking stuff that i load by the 1k so i have one ammo can for 9mm that i just dump all of the bullets in since i load all to the same specs same for 223. my rifle loads will be going back in original boxes or the plastic ammo boxes though.

I ordered 24 of the 6"x6" Lock & Lock containers with 3 different heights. Next is some sort of shelves so I can get at the stuff easily. I'm probably gonna use 2x6 with 30" shelves, floor to ceiling( basement). Should be able to hold 28 of the tallest container.

Akro Bins of Various sizes, usually the biggest one Dillon sells.

If I have a fair amount in one caliber I use 3 1/2 gallon square buckets with lids.

I have four of the square buckets full of .308 Win and the same for 5.56.

The bigger cases make for a lighter bucket. My buckets of 375 H&H and 416 Rem Mag are much lighter than the same container filled with 5.56 cases.
