How to organize bulk projectiles???

[amcardon]

Hey guys, I'm curious as to how you all organize your different bulk bullets for reloading? I'm tired of ziplocs and really suck at organization (just ask my wife, she'll vouch for me!) and would like to have some method of keeping the different bullets sorted, organized, and accessible. If they were all in the original boxes I could just stack 'em on a shelf, but almost all the bullets I have are loose/bulk and I'm starting to go a little nuts... I've thought about the adjustable organizer trays, but they wouldn't hold many. I went to Hobby Lobby today to look at different options but my kids were driving me crazy in their so I left before really looking at much.

Anyway, if you've found something that works for you, please post!

The shoebox sized tupperware containers from walmart/target for like $3 a pop. Label the end of the boxes and stack em, at least thats what I do.

Are you talking loaded rounds or just bulk bullets.

Bulk bullets. Some I have 1000+, some are testers that I have like 20 of. I use ammo cans to store loaded ammo if I am doing a run of 250+, otherwise they go into ammo containers. I feel that my loaded ammo is fairly organized, it's the dang bulk projectiles that are driving me nuts.

Are they strong enough to support the weight? That's my main concern is just how heavy bullets can be...

+1 on Tupperware containers. I found the ones I use at target in the kitchen section. Keep my bulk 9, 223, and .30 in them plus prepped bulk brass. Plenty strong.

I use baby formula cans, coffee cans would work good too

Something along these lines is what I use:

I have some of these, and they serve well in several different applications, but you have to be careful how much weight you put in them.

Be careful, though. As soon as they get organized they'll be wanting things like air conditioned storage, acid-free packaging, softer targets, shorter hours, more pay, better benefits ... uh ... nebbermind.
