| I keep my cleaning brushes, slotted tips, etc in one of those plastic boxes with the dividers. My jags, that came as a set, are in their own box, each one in its own labled hole. Cleaning rods in the plastic tube that it came in hanging on the pegboard wall. Patches are in the bags they came in, hanging on the pegboard. I usualy buy bore brushes in bulk. They are in plastic bags on the pegboard. |

| Not a silly question at all. I was cleaning last week and wondered how to better organize and clean up my cleaning supplies and hardware. |

| Forgotten the name, I use the metal tins that the 'Curiously strong mints' from Briton. One caliber per tin. I bought a box of the mints in the tins, gave them to my wife to spoil her employees with. I wanted the tins and they got the mints. jim

| I use plastic boxes for lures/stuff that you can separate in different sizes. I labeled each compartment above the contents for caliber. Sorry for the glare on the picture URL=http://s965.photobucket.com/user/singleshot03/media/brushes1_zps54d77361.jpg.html] [/URL] |

| Like Brad said, the BEST thing ever for storing all of your gun cleaning materials is a large top opening and front-loading fishing tackle box, like a Plano. I have used one for the last 25 years and it is the only way to go. Everything is there in one box and in one place. Now, all of my boys have their own. |

| The only thing that works best for organizing to me is my brain.I know where this and that is after the last times I used it.I also have a box that contains shooting accesories that I dont need or rarely need or that I might need but probably not. |

| I use a large tackle box.Works for me. Lots of drawers for small tools, like allen wrenches, and other small specialized tools you only use now and then. It works for me.

| I don't use the aluminum take-down cleaning rods. My one piece rods hang on the wall. I keep the brushes, patches, jags, lube and solvent in a fold out tackle box. None of this is kept at my reloading station. My reloading station has my presses, dies, case prep tools, bullets, primers, and powder magazine within easy reach. I don't like the idea of having materials at my reloading station that can contaminate the reloading materials or process. I have a separate bench in a different location for cleaning and working on my guns.
Speer, Sierra, Lyman, Hornady, Hodgdon have reliable reloading data. You won't find it on so and so's web page.

| I use one of the small caliber, plastic Sinclair loading trays that hold 50 cases. The brushes and jags fit into those hole very nicely. |
