Storage for used brass
Collapse

ammo cans or old paint cans w/ Lids.
I used to use the plastic peanut jars, but they don't stack as well.Actually I only started collecting Milsurps 3 years ago. I think I might own about 24...They're cheaper than guns that will most likely never get the opportunity to kill somebody...
I belong to the group that uses firearms, and knows which bathroom to use.
Tis better to have Trolled & lost, Than to never have Trolled, at all.

You can get 5 gallon buckets from your local bakery or supermarket sometimes for free. Food grade ones too if you are looking for survival prep. Home depot usually sells 5 gallon buckets for $4-$5 as well. Just ask your bakery (or Walmart bakery) around closing time if they have any buckets they are going to be throwing out.
You may need to clean them out, but its worth it. Get a 5 gallon trash bag to keep the bucket clean too if you REALLY want.NRA Lifetime Member

I have some brass in those same containers I got from Target, the cheap dollar-store bins with lids are pretty flimsy, but those .99 Target ones are solid.
These stack well.
I usually use small plastic containers for projectiles so they are more vertical, than horizontal as boxes of bullets, such as the one on the left take up too much space if your space is limited:

I'm using an old tub of butter for brass while at the range....dump it into a 5 gallon bucket at home. Once I get more variety of calibers I'll get more buckets or maybe those $0.99 tubs you guys show above from target.NRA Lifetime Member

Transparent plastic tends to hold on to crime from dirty brass, so I just use those bins for clean brass. While at the range, I just throw dirty brass in whatever I happen to empty while there, usually a plastic coffee can/tub as they are not transparent and I don't care how those look on the inside.Comment

Home depot paint section has 1 qt and 1 gallon tubs with lids. I use them.
you said you want to keep fingers out. Well, kids have a way of getting into stuff. Half our kids are 2/3rds of the way cracking our gunsafes as it is.
So if you are really concerned about kid fingers, id say get a sentry gun cabinet (from craigslist of course, no reason to pay $100 for a $50 cabinet) and stick your brass in there.
Lockers are often on CL too and would work.Comment
