Storing brass
« on: February 10, 2006, 12:02:18 PM »
Just wondering. How does everyone store there brass while you wait to reload? I have been keeping mine in an airtight bag. They seem to hold up well, but after a couple of months the bag is turning a bit yellow. What do you do???   tvc15

ZIPLOCKS! This is after they have been cleaned, sized, and primed. I don't have trouble with the bags discoloring though.   KN

I just keep mine is covered plastic buckets.  Never had any problems with them...but then again, some have only been stored that way for 40 years...maybe in another 40 there will be a difference?

Coffee cans, Rubbermaid tubs, and old formula/peanut cans.
Some brass are in bags if only small amounts.

Baby wipe boxes - they stack great.  Ziplocks and shoe boxes.

If the primers are sold in cardboard boxes, why does the primed brass need to be stored in airtight ziplocks?

I do try to keep the powder sealed.  Meaning once a case is powdered, I put a bullet in it that day.
