I'll check on the weekend and confirm, also I've got a big run to do which should empty another 2-3 bottles at least. Worse case is 4-5 empties with a best case of maybe 15. Usually I bin them as I empty them but occasionally I'll save a few to make catch cans for the rifles. The one in the picture clips on the barrel of the big gun and catches all the patches and stops any chemicals staining the concrete when scrubbing the barrel. I also have a few containers with smaller holes drilled in the lid and a foam donut to keep them from falling off.

Much appreciated Brett, let me know when you have them and I'll send you some money.

Do any of you save the empty's but haven't actually found any use for them?
I'm happy to pay for them :-)


Sorry, but I do the same as you. Decant the big bottles into the small ones.

I also buy these great Australian made screw cap plastic bottles to store newly cast, coated and sized bullets mainly for handguns. A 750ml bottle will hold about 850 of my 135gr 9mm bullets. You can stack these easily and they are pretty strong. They also make them in 500ml which holds over 400 of the same bullets.

Like most people I also use large nut jars (plastic) for cleaned cases but you can use them for lots of things reloading related.

I prefer smaller boxes for storing bullets. Ebay 500 boxes for $150. They hold about 200 24gn bullets, 125 55gn bullets, 90 70gn bullets, 50 160gn bullets, and 25 265gn bullets. I use slightly larger boxes for storing brass.

Hang on to it!
When you start buying powder in 4kg bottles you'll appreciate the smaller bottles.
