Hahaha, this is great! Laughing only because we've all been there! This setup will "Auto-Morph" into it's own thing over time. My 2 cents: Go low and wide on the bullet stacking, "When they tip over it's a bad day, with shotshell pellets, it's even worse". Have fun ..... Mike.
So far so good on having these there. They are on the left "bullet" side of the press and I have dumped in my bullet tray on the dillon many times.! appreciate you watching hobo! thank ya!
I haven’t reloaded….yet. My thoughts (through the years, lols) were too just start accumulating everything and eventually I’ll get around to actually doing it. Now that I’m retired, having the time is no longer an excuse. Your commentary is hilarious cause I’m right at this phase - like, what do I do with these bullets and cases - can’t leave um in the box’s or bags, right? I finally found someone that’s just as sophisticated as I am on the subject🎉😊
Recommendation: Cut the end label denoting the weight and exact brand and type of bullet off and tape only the top edge of it to each respective bin. This would allow you to know exactly what type of bullet, not just weight and caliber, is in each bin; and you would be able to lift each of those labels with just a fingertip to look in each bin to see how much is each. Also, when buying the bulk bullets, get a dedicated grouping of bins for those and tape the top edge of the box label for those at the top center of those bins to make it implicit that this is a dedicated set of bins.
I just did a video on my chaotic mess, Fruit cups, zip lock baggies , tote boxes, etc, holds my brass. Peanut butter tubs, bags, etc, I'm forever trying to organize my stuff. It seems to be a scene of chaos forever.
When you watch a Jerry Miculek video , say when he was reviewing the S&W Shield 2.0 Metal , take a good look at the wall of bullet boxes behind him . THAT is some organization he has got , and he probably knows where every bullet is on those shelves .
I say whatever makes you happy! I’m in the process of rearranging my reloading supplies and equipment and landed on using an old vertical metal cabinet for most components. I have enough space in there to keep my 9mm, 45 ACP, 223, and 30 cal separate. I have a label maker I’m planning to use next. It’s a never ending process!
Where I am it’s 60-80% humidity for at least 9 moths a year. Keeping bullets in air tight ziplocks is essential or you end up with fluffy green rounds.
Use some moisture packs. Keep them labeled. Cool thing about clear bins, is that you get a good visible inventory, especially if you're loading and shooting a lot. I've been doing this for 30 years and usually keep the bulk in heavy plastic bags with moisture packs. Otherwise, like my small boxes of JHP's I use for defense loads stay in the small boxes, as I keep closer track of how many of those I use. Good work, organization is critical, but don't be afraid to weigh those bullets if you question which ones they are...just to ensure your loads are gonna be safe.
I put mine in plastic drawers. Remove label from box with a heat gun. Restick the label to the front of the container. Boom! We all have suffered from this dilemma. 😂
They look good in the clear plastic shelving. However they sit there for awhile the copper starts to turn green from the atmospheric conditions. Especially if you live in a moisture-rich environment. But it does look cool. The powder coated cast lead will be fine in the shelving units. Maybe add one more of those rack system so that you can put all your ammunition in there. Echo
Dude you already have a better setup then I do lol. Mine are in labled coffee cans that are stacked . For the boxes I just cut the labels off and toss the rest . But yes you have a beautiful set up .
TH-cam is a good motivator. It has to function and have light and look good on camera. I wish I have some experience to know what works. I am just taking a stab at this.
@@EagleReloads hay you're doing good . I hope to one day have mine set up like yours . As of right now my bedroom doubles as my reloading room and wife works during the night . I do have a small Garage but as of right now my truck is being rebuilt and it takes up all the room .
Just save the boxes for later i know alot of people who reload and they store all there stuff in the box that the bullets came in. i guess it just works for us
I guess handgun bullets don’t matter you can mix different lots together but I would label them all just to make sure I am not mixing or misidentifying bullets. If I were you I would use this system (with more and smaller drawers) as putting sample projectiles for a bigger inventories I might have somewhere in the house so I don’t have to grab a heavy bulk box every time for load developments. Nevertheless it’s still not a bad idea you do you
These plastic trays look flimsy and subject to cracking. If at all practical I would suggest leaving the bullets in the original (and already clearly labeled) factory boxes.

decided i agree with you and didnt put labels on it to keep flexible.

Hard ware stores have these realy nice bins for starge of screw or what have you they work well for storeing bullets and brass
such a rabbit hole, i am bogging down! haha

Ill have to test, I also will want to load them and properly store them loaded. Hopefully they dont stay around long! haha
Keep then in Plastic. They may tarnish. Make sure to keep them labeled. I forgot easily what they are.
I hope they aren’t there long! Ha
I use roasted peanut containers to store my cast bullets and I'm cheap so I use the great value brand

I would for sure label them… nice boolets bro

So far so good.
Dude, i have no idea what you accomplished, but the comedy was priceless.🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have to force myself to throw away those damn bullet boxes. Ill never use them.
we always like a good box. many of mine were bulk and just came in a bag, so this is viable.
