How do you folks organize/store your bullets? I have all my brass nicely sorted in labeled plastic bins on a metal shelf. I shoot a great variety of pistol and rifle bullets both cast and jacketed. I have them in baggies, in the green Sierra boxes they came in, various plastic cups, Folgers coffee cans, you name it, I've got some sort of bullet sitting in it. Have any of you systematically sorted your bullets? If so, do you use any particular storage boxes or bins?
 
Just what they came in….but my wife goes through a quart of yogurt a week…in a brand with clear lids. Those containers are great for sorting shit like bullets and brass.
 
I just keep them in what they were shipped in though for my pistol reloads a new solution would be nice as they are typically shipped in plastic bags.

Harbor Freight storage racks.

Yeah, the ones I buy for my long-range rifles, Sierra Match Kings, and the like, I keep in their boxes. I also cast lead bullets, many for pistol but quite a few for big bore rifle, those seem to be the orphaned ones that end up most likely to end up in Folgers cans or baggies, if I'm lucky. Then of course there are the plinkers I've bought in bulk that come in big 'ole bags or boxes. There's no rhyme or reason to it.

I'm going to see what a Harbor Freight storage rack looks like; not sure what that is.
 
Denture cups. Cheap, clear lid, and easily labeled.

I store my factory bullets on shelves in their original boxes. I do like the grocery stores and have like kinds of bullets stacked in front of each other. Oldest to the front.

I also cast most of my pistol bullets and these are stored in wide mouth plastic jugs with the bullet and alloy info written on them with a sharpie. The wide mouth is so that I can put a handful in without having to drop them.

Bergers, Barnes, Nosler and etc stay in the box they came in.

Bulk bullets and cast lead are stored in these cans.

They make good ballast to anchor down a reloading bench....take out the flex.


Three different sizes. Buy the small ones for those bulk coated lead bullets......they tend to get heavy. (y)
