The square buckets work great for storing brass. I have 3 & 5 gallon ones. I put 9MM brass in the small ones because the weight is hard on the sides of the big ones. Bulges them out bad. I use ammo cans for ammo.
Firesky I can't beleive that someone else uses these too. My buddy drives a truck for a company that grinds up the old road to resurface and picks up these containers. I have several stored in my attic now.if you know anyone who works in the asphault grinding industry the teeth for the grinders come in neat ammo can sized conainers with a handle. I got hundreds for free as they were just tossing them.
New 2 gal. paint buckets from Home Depot for brass storage, ammo cans for storing loaded and boxed ammo. This is about half the stash. Old photos too.
Im glad to see there are people out there with more ammo on hand than I have! I ended up moving my ammo into a closet away from my reloading bench. That was a while ago when my brother made a comment about me having "too much" ammo and only had 4 cans full, now I have 8 lol. when you shoot 300+ rounds a week at the range, that stash doesnt last more than 6 months.
