What/How do you store your Brass Cases?

[FP1201]

I've an obscene amount of Brass in dozens of Calibers, I started out with Coffee cans and that worked well enough at first, but I've no more cans or room for them, I have Plastic Storage Bins FULL of bagged Brass (heavy duty commercial Bags, not sandwich bags), Five Gallon Buckets for Spent Cases awaiting processing, which hasn't been done because I really haven't anymore room to deal with them... Cat Litter Buckets work well for large quantities of a single size, but that's really only good for a few calibers (5.56, .45. 7.62, etc)
How do you store your cases?
Any suggestions?
I DO prefer things neat, orderly, and well arranged...don't mind dropping a couple hundred IF it'll do the job.

Anyone?

Prepped, primed, in gallon freezer bags, stored in cardboard boxes.

5 gallon buckets for unprocessed, clear plastic storage bins for cleaned brass, metal ammo cans for loaded ammo.

Different size Sistema bins for most clean calibers, 5 gallon pails for large quantities of clean 9mm, 45, and 233. Dirty, I sort out and they go into 1 gallon milk jugs.

I'm pretty much doing the same thing now, just looking for something better...It's the storage of processed and sorted brass: few hundred '06 cases cleaned and ready to load in one, and the same or more of the same but needing to be cleaned/processed...Factory Packages of new Brass, heavy duty zip-lock Bags, most of which are in giant totes.
My Brother uses cardboard Parts Bins with/without dividers on a wooden shelf, but they're a bit small for the volume of cases.
Coffee Cans (especially the big ones) work well enough, even the plastic ones it come in now, but other than scrounging the Transfer Site, I don't have a supply, even then they only hold a couple hundred Rifle cases, and stack hap-haphazardly
Can't use flimsy stuff because it gets heavy fast.
Hell of a problem to have, isn't it?

For my precision guns the brass stays in the 100 round plastic ammo box. I load all 100 each time when the last round is fired. If a piece of brass fails to meet specs, it gets tossed and not replaced. This way I can track how many times each piece is loaded and maintain the load that acts the best in the rifle.

Special purpose/Magnum Brass is getting treated pretty much the same way using MTN flip top boxes, the Laupa Brass stays in the Factory Boxes same as loaded rounds.
I'm thinking something like these: Plastic Bins, Plastic Storage Bins, Stackable Storage Bins in Stock - ULINE
just have to buy/build shelving to hold them all.

I don't think I ever bought anything for storing brass. There is always something around the house that I can utilize. Non-dairy creamer cans or any cans with a screw-on lids. Large heavy duty freezer bags. More important to have a system to keep track how many times any particular lot of brass was reloaded and what kind of prep steps were used. I have my own system to keep track which I write on a label for each lot.

With fresh primers inserted, powder charges, and topped with projectiles.






Nah... I'm a slob. I've got bags and buckets of brass all over my dang garage.

I'll give you the benefit of doubt: You intend to make them complete again....right?
