My supply of cast bullets for 9mm was almost depleted, so over the last few days I've been doing some casting, sizing, and lubing. I took advantage of the snowy weather today to finish up. I've been trying to find some good containers to hold the finished bullets. Over the years I've used wooden cigar boxes, cardboard boxes, plastic containers, and so on. None of them worked particularly well. Some were too flimsy, too deep, too big, and so on. But I think I've finally found some pretty good storage containers:
I decided to try the metal containers from those Danish Butter Cookies that everyone seems to have around Christmas time. There's 2800 sized and lubed cast bullets in those two containers. Each container holds four layers of bullets, separated by circular pieces of cardboard. Very sturdy. I use plastic and metal coffee cans for bulk storage of the cast bullets before sizing and lubing.
BTW, the bullets are 120gr truncated cone, sized to .356, lubed with Alox. The mold used was a 6 cavity aluminum Lee.
If anyone else has any other ideas for storage containers, please pass them along. Otherwise, I'm going to go buy some more cookies!
