    trusty 5 gallon pail or 50 gal drum if you have one. It's BRASS. You don't have to keep it alive. It won't melt. Well, hope not anyway.

    Correct me if I am wrong but those look like safe deposit boxes from a bank. do you mind if I ask how in the world you acquired a whole wall of bank safe deposit boxes?
    A friend of my brothers bought a Wells Fargo building at auction. He was converting the building into some other use. I bought around 60 of the safe deposit units from him back in November. I used a bunch for my man cave, and I have been selling the rest over the last couple months. They’re out on the classified ads here on TGT if you have any interest.

    I use nut containers and 5 gallon buckets for brass and projectiles.

    BTW - I have a surplus of nut containers, PM me if you’d like some. Assorted sizes. I’m not shipping, or hauling them all over creation. Local pickup (Arlington)

    I use the clear Sterelite plastic containers. Not expensive, lid locks in place, and stacks well. Multiple sizes for different calibers and quantities of brass.

    This ^^ and some different clear plastic containers as well as a couple used formula containers.

    Decided to go with the clear sterilite containers. The real problem is the amount of 9mm and .45 brass. Several freezer bags of each. I can get the bigger ones for those 2 and the shoebox size ones for the rest. Should keep things much more organized.

    Just wanting to get some ideas from y’all, on how you keep and organize your brass. I started out just using the big ziplock freezer bags. It worked great. But now instead of one bag per caliber, I have several of each, and keeping everything halfway in order has become impossible! I have bags all over the damn place! I was gonna grab a bunch of the plastic storage bins, but I thought y’all could give me some better ideas. I really need to get organized!

    These


    There's a large 5" x 10.5" version, and a smaller 5" x 7.5" version. You can find them at Walmart on the aisle with the Tubberware and kitchen organization stuff. The big ones hold several hundred of pieces of brass, and the smaller ones are great for cartridges that you don't keep a lot of brass on hand for.

    Personally I like Pelican (or other similar brands) cases for storing anything important. The foam keeps everything secure in place, plus they are dust-proof, waterproof, and easy to store and grab when needed. Pricey, though.

    Amazon recently had the 1700 series cases on sale, 1700 for $184, 1720 for $194, and 1750 for $204, something like that. Been debating ordering one. For sure expensive, but I'm trying to justify it by thinking that it will likely last for decades haha. Right now I only have a few of their smaller cases. I believe those cases are big enough to fit 2 rifles and some bits and bobs around them.
