Reloading Bench Bullet Storage Upgrade!

I decided that I'd like to have my bullets made more readily available while reloading so I got going on a new project. It included two of these (Quantum QTB305 Clear 5-1/4-Inch by 23-5/8-Inch by 6-1/2-Inch Tip Out Bin System, White) and a piece of 1" X 6" X 6' long Poplar wood. I ordered the bins from Amazon at a cost of just under $70.00 total and a quick trip to Home Depot for another $18.00 worth of wood.

Some folks might say; I could have bought two more boxes of bullets for that price but I'd counter with "this suits my needs and adds a great look to the Gun Room" at the ranch.

Here are some pics of the finished project. To be clear this isn't all of the bullet types that I reload for however they are by far the most common so this approach works well for me. The rest of my bullet inventory stands in the shadows under lock & key within another cabinet.


This adds a bit of a gun lovers "Candy Store" feel to the room too!

  1. Hey Gunner!
    Slippy from PF here. Great website Sir. Be well and I appreciate your info on Lever Action Guns. Too many of us have gotten "lost" in the world of Plastic Semi-Autos and forgotten the basics of these legendary firearms.
    Take care,

  2. I've found that the gas check can be a very useful item. It has the ability to change how a bullet works, and fits in a particular gun. I'm not sure why EK had a disdain for the gas check.
