Cheap reloading bins

[aaRdog]

I got dragged into the .99 Cent Store the other day and saw these. I got a bunch and they work well for storage..and they're BLUE!...I think they have some red ones, too. Anyway, better than the Folger's tubs, etc. that I was using. Maybe you might need some.

Yuuuup, those and what you have in the background (plastic coffee containers). I just put a strip of duct tape on the lids and write what caliber it is.

I use the same ones. Lasted a year now.

I'm on the 5gal buckets now, I did start in something similar though.

I use 4 and 5 lb red vine containers from my coworker. Holds like 17lbs of brass but cant stack so they kinda take up space. also use coffee cans which can stack but not clear.

I've had good luck with the Folger's tubs...they stack better and the molded in handles are nice for pulling them out from the back of the shelf

The small containers are good for a couple of hundred rounds or for taking a small quantity to the range, but when you get much above 400 cases, the tubs work better

I put the AR parts in one, AK parts in another. Priming tools in another. Nice to keep everything in one place so I'm not going nuts trying to find something...

I buy the shoe box bins for $.99 from Big lots. More durable and larger. 5 gal pails for un-sorted brass and larger tubs for 50BMG brass.

The $1.19 bins at Target are my favorites, aside from coffee tubs:


They are more sturdy than anything else at that price, and WAY sturdier than similar .99c store bins (better snap-on lids too).

^^^^ Those are $.99 at Big Lots and that is what I use for brass/bullets/primers and extra parts such as scope rings.
They work great.

I use the taller version of these bins for storing brass.

Wow, I like those Target ones. They do look quite a bit sturdier, plus I don't mind going to target as much. Although I can't just cut my loses yet as I'm vested in these for upwArds of ten bones at the moment. I gotta stretch them out for a few years first... hahaha!

LoL. I use things like that for loaded ammo only. For my brass I have three 27 gallon rubbermaids that have yellow, black or blue spots painted on them. I am sure SOME of you might know why...

Then I have one 5 gallon bucket of brass that is unsorted and when it gets filled up, it is time to sort it and put the brass into one of three bins... OR some brass gets seperated and put into bags and decapped and then sits awaiting to be tumble cleaned.

Yeah, well, that's not a lot of brass compared to folks who have a lot more brass than that. What's blue color for?
