Where to store lead shot

[Jerry Sine]

I have several bags of lead shot. #5  #6  #71/2 some regular shot and copper coated. Just curious would you store shot in glass jars or just leave in canvas bags. Seems to me it would be a lot better stored in some type of container.
Just wondering what your thought is.  Thanks   Jerry

I leave my shot in their canvas bags and store them in an ammo box.

Never gave storage a thought. I leave it in their canvas bags and store on a metal shelf in the basement along with 150# or so of cast balls.

I use repurposed plastic coffee "cans". They hold close to 25#'s or so of shot and are sort of air tight. YMMV.

I find that empty clothes detergent bottles work best. They have handles and pour spouts. Mark the contents on the outside and store wherever. The pour spout comes in really handy.

That would work great.Thanks for the tip

I keep mine in the cloth bags, but any unbreakable container will work, GLASS BREAKS! Do you know how much a damnzillion is? It is the number of #six shot in 20 lbs spilled on your shop floor!

Like several others I keep full bags in the bags and in sealed .50 cal
cans.  It will hold 2.  Yeah 50 lbs it a bit much - but nobody is gonna walk off quick with them  

When ready to load up shells or ML spout bag I pour off enough to go then tie the bag back up.
