If you cast bullets you'll find out that its a fact that a few hand fulls of projectiles tends to weight a surprising amount
and the fact is that once sized and lubed its hard to keep bullets clean and in good condition,
unless you have a moisture and dirt proof container thats reasonably sized
I generally use the linked containers below,
and use masking tape and a magic marker to label the contents,
you can stack an amazing amount of cast and lubed projectiles for years ,
in good condition this way, especially if you use the containers,
to store cast and lubed bullets in 50 caliber ammo cans , a quart may not sound like much but it can weigh 10bs-20lbs, and be hundreds to thousands of projectiles, and the containers ;last far longer than the cheap cardboard boxes most factory projectiles are shipped in!
yeah empty 1 lb coffee containers or 1 lb peanut butter jars also work also work ok
but getting a couple dozen at a time is frustrating

bullet lube
If you only lube a few hundred cast bullets a year, Id say buy the commercial lube sticks as its not worth the effort to make up batches of lube, but if you load thousands of cast bullets, then yes its well worth the effort and you can improve on most commercial lube results, and save some cash...
