"Plastic Storage Boxes" that is what I waste my money on. The 50 round boxes are $2.50 each and the 100 round boxes are $5 each, from BiMart, WalMart, or any other MartMart.
For Cowboy Action Shooting I load .38 Special cases with 125 grain lead flat nose bullets for the two Ruger New Vaquero's. I load .38 cases with 147 grain Moulton Lead bullets for the Marlin 1894 and Henry Big Boy lever guns. Need a few plastic storage boxes for each.
For the Bersa I load .380 cases with 95 grain lead round nose bullets from SNS Casting. Need a few plastic storage boxes for them.
For the Rock Island Armory 1911 I load .45 cases with 230 grain lead round nose and 200 grain semi-wadcutters. Need a few plastic storage boxes for them.
For the Springfield Armory XD(M) 4.5 9mm, and Kahr CW9 9mm I load 115 grain lead round nose bullets from SNS Casting. Need a few plastic storage boxes for them.
Plus plastic storage boxes for once, twice, thrice fired brass of each cal that ain't been cleaned yet.

Coffee cans work too hobbles !!
opaww,
I nickle and dime it also. Been reloading since 77. Started with an RCBS Rockchucker Jr. and still use it. Not as much now.
Started with: Rockchucker press, .270 Winch. dies, .44 mag dies, RCBS powder scale, RCBS powder measure for both rifle and pistol, funnel, powder tricler, case lube stuff, primer pocket reamer. LEE case trimmers worked well enough, so I still used them on everything I load.
A year later I got a Lyman sizer and luber for pistol bullets. I only loaed .38 spl, .357, and .44 mag alot. So I got bullet molds for those in wadcutter and semi-wadcutter. Used mostly wheelweights and dug up bullets for casting new stuff. Also F in law gave me some 50 lb. bricks of lead from the pipleline pump station where he worked. Still have plenty. Have the LEE electric pot and it has alot of miles on it.
Don't cast as much anymore. Still do inn spurts, mostly .38 spl for plinking. Everything else gets jacketed stuff now.
Have dies for .38/.357, .41 mag, .44 mag. .45 auto in pistol cals. Thinking aobut getting a .40 also. Don't shoot much of anything else.
Have dies for .221 Fireball pistol/rifle, .222 Rem, .223 Rem, .243 Winch. .270 Winch. .300 Savage, .30-06, .30 carbine, and .30-30 in rifles Thinking about adding 7mm-08 and .308. Have the dies. Sometimes have the guns, sometimes not.
I stumbled on a really nice Lyman scale and collet bullet puller at a pawn shop a few months ago. Puller had dies for .22 and .30 cal. Got all of it for 15 bucks out the door. Gotta get more dies for the puller now cause I have some .270 cal stuff I need to pull some .30 cals out of some .30-06s that a friend gave me. He had them in storage in a hot locker for 20 years. The powder was caked up, but the brass was good and the bullets worked just fine when I loaded them again. Nickle and dime it.
