Its still hard to beat IBM punch card cabinets for storage. Im always
on the lookout for more.

Me too. Only regret I have is that I didn't grab more of them back when
we were tossing them, but I took all I could ude at the time. Got one
set of drawers full of brass, one cartridge case size per.

Gack!! Another use Id not considered. Holding loaded ammo. Currently
I use those big steel shop cabinets, but they are not really suited
for keeping ammo seperated. I think Ive got several hundred CaseGard
boxes stored.

I load for 53 different cartridges. Or can.

I just keep my empty brass in the drawers. Maybe 10 different calibres.
ATM I can't be bothered reloading as I do very little shooting, but one
day I may have the time again. Might have to add .310 Cadet to my
collection as I picked up a nice Martini reciever last year and had a
barrel tucked away from 20 years ago. Both bits have made it to the
workbench where - sigh - the threads on the bbl are slightly OD for the
reciever. Pitch is fine but there isn't enough clearance to screw them
together without excessive force. Good thing I have a lathe, bad thing
is I lack the time - and I haven't decided which is the better approach
to fixing the problem. The feral cats may live a bit longer; I was
planning on handloading SWC to about 800 fps for a nice quiet cat
killer. OTOH there's always the 22RF with subsonics......
