I feel like the little pretzels with the peanut butter in them and the bigger cheese puff containers were simply meant to hold bullets and brass after consumption..
They work too perfectly That is all

 Something like this? 22LR cases that were wet tumbled, sorted and stored in containers ready to be turned into 22 cal bullet jackets. |

Coffee cans/tubs here. Plus the 1 gallon screw top jugs that you may be able to get from some BBQ places etc. if you order a gallon of beans to go.
The small tupperwares are good for home made lube mixes, holding pre-lubed patches/wads, etc. for my muzzle loader. Also use one as a catch tray for powder overflows when I'm measuring out BP for the front stuffers. I've got a 45acp moon clip with shells in it, and then 38 special shells jb-welded into them. Put the whole thing in container, pour powder over top to fill the 38s spillage stays in tupperware and goes back to powder jug. Can load all 6 cylinders on my 1858 in a few moments. |

Hillshire Farms luncheon meat plastic tubs are useful for holding brass/projectiles when reloading single stage. Or for storing same.

Bottom half of this post shows how I use similar containers to manage my brass

I use the plastic Tupperware type containers that deli meat comes in. A coworker used a lot of it and I get the containers when they’re done

Quote HistoryQuoted: This. Walmart brand turkey tubs comfortably hold 200 rounds of 9mm. 200 of 9x19 is what budget for a range session. I have been saving the meet containers. I got a few big pretzel containers. But, I store brass in Home Depot 5 Gal or 2.5 Gal orange pails. I envy the guys with those big blue barrels that look like 55gal drums full of brass! |

I just finished filling a 5 Gal pail and was thinking about picking up a blue barrel to fill next. Then I realized how much processing that would be...Now considering picking up another 5 Gal pail instead. |

 Attached FileThese mixed nuts from Walmart are really good and the container holds around 400 9mm and fits nicely in a 50 caliber ammo can. |

I still use several baby formula cans from raising my kids. Both the regular and the all-plastic ones with the hinged lids. They've served me well for years.

Just an fyi on using snack containers. They will deteriorate if left in an area with temperature swings.
My dad recently passed and had several of them in the garage full of LC brass. They fell apart when they were picked up dumping brass everywhere. |

I use those and I put 1,000 rounds of 5.56 in the large pretzel containers
I separate 5.56 brass in gallon bags and those go in 5 gallon buckets Small amounts of sorted brass go in Hershey Cocoa containers 1 LB, 2LB and 23 oz size which make great sorting bins As mentioned storing any of those in the garage (or a shed) quickly ruins them so mine stay in the AC |

I use the same containers from WallyWorld, only I buy the Dry Roasted Peanuts. I started out using Folgers Coffee containers until I accidentally knocked one off the dining room table and the lid came off. 600 9mm cases rolling on a hardwood floor is not a good thing. |

Scrap brass is worth about $1.65 per pound this week.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Why do you save used primers? Same reason I save my used/damaged/worn out brass/junk brass. They are made of brass too and recycle the same as a cartridge case. I save all my 22lr brass too. Brass adds up to money at the recycle center. |
