Started to thinking about storing my cast bullets after they have been inspected, and lubed. If I just lump them all together in a box it would seem to me that they could get stuck together and the lube could be pulled off here and there. They could also be damaged on the base by bumping into one another. Would like to hear how you store yours and thoughts on the subject.

*  Match bullets (500m & 1000yds, lubed and un lubed - Styrofoam trays
*  All others, lubed and unlube, stored loose in Crystal Light plastic containers and Vita Herring plastic jars for the larger quantities
*  454190 Colt 45's used for CAS - in empty tobacco tins ~ 20 lbs per tin

  Unless one shakes the containers up like a milk shake - the concern is a non issue!  For support, 20 lbs of lubed bullets stored in a tobacco tin and the bases are perfect and no lube gets scraped off

I use the foam pistol cartridge containers that Midway Shooter's Supply have to offer. They are cheap to purchase and unlike the plastic ones like Franks uses that tend to melt the lube on a hot day they also have an insulating factor just like an inexpensive foam ice chest. If this what you are looking for buy twice as many as you need as you use for one for the bullets and one for the top and I hold them together with a heavy duty rubber band. I also place of masking tape on the top noting batch number, lube, bullet, alloy, weight etc. and peel it off when empty. The are very durable and taken care of will last a lifetime if not longer. The also come with folded down box to store the individual trays in but I prefer to use one on the top as mentioned to keep the bullets both cool as well as adding another layer of protection.

I use the self-hinged plastic 9mm boxes.  Lube at home, not at the range.  They are super convenient and they keep the bases square and the lube clean.  The boxes also fit nicely in ammo cans to take to the range.

Another vote for the Midway foam boxes.

Thanks Guys. I dug up a few 9MM plastic ammo boxes and they are just fine for storing my 319247 Lyman and SAECO #632 bullets in. Looks like I'll be ordering a bunch of them as I have cast up nearly 1000 bullets over the past few days. I put the information about the bullets on the back of one of my biz cards and slip it in the box with the bullets. Looks like this is going to be a very good storage system indeed.
   Thanks for the suggestions, Sendaro

I'd like to add to Schuetzendave's comment about storing bullets in the freezer.  It not only helps to keeps the lube fresh, it greatly slows down the normal alloy aging process that changes the hardness over time.

The MTM boxes close tight enough and there is no need for additional sealing of these ammmo boxes.

You should warm them up to room temperature before opening since moisture will condense on them if you open them up and they are still fozen. Then you might have to dry them out a bit before using.
