What to do with bullet boxes ?

[Clearlight]

Just had a great two weeks with a Texan forum member here in Aus .
Doing some chores today , looks like a Berger Bullet truck took a shit
in my reloading room ... Must be over 500 empty hundred count boxes
in here , 50 odd cardboard five hundred count boxes , and another
truckload of empty ADI powder containers .

Any ideas what to do with this stuff , other than dump it in a plastic
or cardboard recycling bin ?

I have the same problem... They seem too useful to toss... But not that useful as storage boxes....

Lets see some sh creativity!!

Cheers, Sirhr

Stack them in the spot where you stack your coffee cans.

Could put some cotton in a hundred count box and an adi container and airmail it to the "hobby lobby bitch" for christmas...

Know any little boys? I gave some to my 3 year old grandson, they make great weather proof building blocks when filled full of sand. I carry a few in the work van for a multitude of tiny screws and nails. A .30 cal box hold brushes in the cleaning toolbox. Small tools in the range bag and reloading tool box. Left some at the public range once, they disappeared so somebody found a use for them. Powder bottles used for storing bulk bullets. Rust proof box for Wilson trimmer bodies. The .22/6mm boxes make great tannerite targets. Then again so does a empty Cope box.

Had to finally start throwing the Yuban cans, even a hoarder like me has limits.

Recycle bin. I live in an area where everything goes in the same dumpster and then goes to the landfill. Anyway, I stack shit up until I'm sick of looking at it and end up throwing it away. Without fail I end up needing it later for some kind of bullshit.

Truer words never spoken.

Sounds like ya had a great time! Bergerpalooza indeed.
I use'm for my comparator storage when I actually put them away. Also brushes n jags that don't have their own storage boxes from the manufacturer. Odds n ends, but most of them and the powder bottles don't get used and eventually get tossed only to do all over again in a month or so......

Screw them to a board or wall and make storage bins out of them.
Maybe even notch the front side so it's easier to see in them

when you start cutting the bottom out of your soup and bean cans and flattening them out to store stacked in the garage, im going to think you and my grandpa were hanging out

Tannerite targets for the win... I LOVE that idea!!!!!

So much potential there!

e-bay

I have a good friend who's son has more than a mild case of OCD. I've given bundles of them to him, and because they're (mostly) all the same, he uses them for his own storage system. And he wants more.

Aid'n an' abett'n?

Helping?

Enabling?

He smiles, what else is needed?

Stack them all up at your reloading bench. Take a picture and post it on the gun boards to make everybody jealous.

Then sell them on EBAY.

I use them to store all that little crap around the reloading room and then write the contents of each box in hsarpie on the lids...modified cases, comparators, ods n ends cleaning stuff, misc gun screrws n parts etc..

 

[Clearlight]

Thanks gentlemen . Time to ditch the lidless small Tupperware
containers stolen from the kitchen , which currently contain all
that crap we find necessary . Threaded cases for finding lands ,
ogive comparators , bump and go no go gauges , brushes etc etc
can get stacked nicely in bullet boxes .

I need to visit an IKEA store or similar for more shelves too . Might
try to wood screw an array of boxes to a board for some ‘ vertical
integration ‘ storage . Will post a pic or two when I get it done after
this current round of training .

Tannerite , I wish ! It appeared very briefly on the market here in Aus ,
and was withdrawn from sale quickly before I could buy any . The mines
and energy department got rather upset about gun stores selling
explosives over the counter without the appropriate EO paperwork .
Sometimes I just want to move to Texas .....

 

[sirhrmechanic]

Clearlight... you can make your own with readily over-the-counter chemicals. It's not Rocket Surgery.

Many a farmer in Aus would be familiar with fertiliser and diesel
stump removal techniques .

 

[sirhrmechanic]

We grew up blasting stumps and rocks here on the farm that way... Now it's a major federal case. But I can't tell you how many stumps and boulders got cleared off the farm when I was a kid that way.

As for Tannerite... simple non-regulated chemicals.

I am actually surprised that noone has ever gone after Tannerite. So many retards have blown up stuff on YouTube that it's such an easy target... pardon the pun.

Cheers,

Sirhr
