Brass storage & Organization

I use the Harbor Freight boxes as well. I use ziplock bags and store in the Harbor Freight boxes with the O ring seal. Easy to store and get density.

I have a bunch of boxes like that but mine are full of bullets for reloading,sorted by cal. and bullet weights.I'm glad I was stocking up little by little over the years.The prices these days are shocking.

@openlake: Da.m that really looks organized. Mine pale in comparison.

Ditto! But they are really heavy I found.

Great solutions!!! I really like the file cabinet idea!! I bought a couple at a company going out if business sale but I use them for file records. Looks like on another "mission"!

OMG! The amount of brass some you have is amazing. I'm not sure when a person reaches the point to visit the recycle shop, but if you are filling up 5 gallon buckets, I believe you are close to reaching that point.

some great ideas on this thread for sure!!!
I don't think anyone ever had too much brass. It's always nice to have extra

I thought I had too much…apparently I'm really lagging behind.

Now brother that right there made me laugh. LOL....just last year I finished processing at least 10K of 223 brass....yeah that took storage tubs not a bucket or two. Before this current mess anytime I got a new rifle I would purchase another 2-300 cases immediately for it alone. Now some by buddies and quite a few of these boys they flat put me to shame.

I use 2.5 gallon buckets for the calibers where I have 500-1500 pieces of brass. I use akro bins on the Inline Fab system for calibers with less brass.

My solution to brass storage.

Ammo is slightly different.

Brass in-service stays in MTM boxes with notes on history and what barrel it belongs to.

Retired brass is bagged and taped with all the notes from it's lifecycle. (Ziplocks seem to pop open at the worst possible times for me)

Pistol/blaster brass goes in buckets, tubs, old food storage containers, plastic Wal Mart bags, pretty purple Crown bags, pretty much whatever I have on hand at the moment to pick it up and put it in. I try to come home from the range with more cases than I left with - if some cold-hearted bast*rd abandons even a single poor little 9mm case I give it a nice, safe home.

if you are filling up 5 gallon buckets, I believe you are close to reaching that point.

When you start cleaning brass batches in a cement mixer you know you're getting close to almost having enough
