Good question...I always have the same problem and sometimes it even bleeds over into primers. Go figure...

If there is a good answer for this maybe we could move on to where do the socks go , tuperware lids/containers and the greatest mystery of the universe how women work .
I'm just happy to have brass , sometimes I gain , sometimes I lose , sometimes I wonder why I shot at all.....

I don't know, but I'm a lot happier with the calibers that I just load and throw in a coffee can. Exact numbers are irrelevant. It sucks when you have three leftover and have to use a whole 50 round box just for those.

Why? So you know when you need to buy more brass.

I want to know why the range gods felt it necessary to keep one of my 375 Win cases last time out.

At work we call these "Zerk suckers". They steal the grease out of bushings, rod ends, etc. at night.

I don't even wanna bring up the cases that just dwindle in numbers.
I bought a box of new star-line 45 colt brass because I couldn't find even half of the ones I know I have.

44 mag brass is worse, I seen it, I was gonna re-fill it, then I couldn't find it.
so I bought a bunch of once fired and half of it was brand new primed.
I decided to put the new stuff away and found the old stuff, who put's old stuff away?
still can't find the 45's anywhere.

in the gun room is away.
except for the daughters pit, that's her time-out room. [safe space?]

There is no "100". The correct sequence goes 98, 99, 101,103, and repeats into infinity.

wow...well, what I wrote, and what it reads is two different things.
daughters pit refers to the dog.:confused:
that typed word thing kicks in for sure right there.

I guess I should have typed that it is the dog's time-out room, it's her comfortable space in our house.
if she gets scolded she goes straight in there and lay's down.
none of the other dog's will even go in that room, even the big stupid Rottweiler/mastiff mix, and the oldest girls Chihuahua puppy will stop at the door and stand there waiting for permission to go in.

I have a cure for you, fiver. I try to keep more than I can count or sort around. Heck the 9mm just gets weighed & #'s rounded to the nearest 500th. I wouldn't know or care if it's off a bit, even the 3030 PB brass gets rounded & dumped in the bag.

The real problem is having a hole for each case. It's definitely an ocd trigger.

I'm trying to get everything into a manageable type of packaging.
the pistol type rounds I'm okay with being in ammo cans and buckets where necessary with some specialty loads in the MTM type cases.
but the rifle stuff sucks to have 183 pieces of this lot and 164 of that lot.
it takes a whole box for 14 pieces of brass, otherwise I end up with a storage container of this and that and a couple of containers of loaded ammo on the shelf.

Send me the extra 83 of one and send the extra 64 of the other to Ian. Problem solved.

then you'll have 83 HKE, and he will have 64 CBC 308's.
and we will all be messed up when I lose one, and you guy's are looking for 17 more cases.
