    Found these tubs at Chinamart for cheap and really like them for sorting / organizing my brass.



    Even when full they seemed to handle being moved around without acting like they were about to take a dump. No way they could handle being filled with completed rounds of any sort but empty brass cases seems fine. Like that they are stackable too...

    Know for sure there is just over one k of the nickel brass in the top bucket here, 3 k in the one under that and 3.5 k of the stuff on the bottom. Guessing I could likely get about 4k of 45ACP size brass in one of these containers and still be able to close the lid without having to mash stuff down or fiddle around much.



    Was just under 20 bucks for all 8 of those. (two separate 4 packs) Will be getting a few more of these for sure...



    I 'thought' I was being smart on my shelves intended for the heavy stuff by keeping them shorter in length. Even at just under 24" in length that 3/4 thick Melamine is taking a slight bow after just a day with stuff on it. Going to have to sort out how to stiffen them up underneath.

    Good idea, I have been using large metal baking tins with higher walls for all of my sorting. I will look into “Chi-com” mart.
