All I can say is if you're not willing to undertake the Herculean task of accurately and completely labeling everything, don't put stuff in boxes. Open-faced bins can work for some things, but generally, if you can't see it then you won't use it, and if you won't use it then why are you storing it?

Granted, there's a few things you might actually want to store long-term with no intention to use, but that should be a vanishingly small percentage of your stuff. Put those in some sort of hard-sided water resistant bin/box, and not cardboard. Less bug infiltration, and less chance of being ruined if something happens. These things should also be as awkward to get at as possible, such as on high shelves nearly at the ceiling. The less of often you need to access it, the more annoying access can be, such as requiring a ladder.

Your goal here is to maximize vertical space utilization and at the same time minimize the amount of "I have to move this thing to get to that thing." If you have to actually pick up and put something else down elsewhere before you can pick up the thing you wanted to get in the first place, you're doing it wrong.

If you have some woodworking tools, nows the time to break them out. Even if you don't want to build the shelves in the first place, that's fine. Those big garage shelves you can buy at the store are a great start, but the shelves tend to be way too tall for most things. So building smaller cubbyhole-like shelves won't take a lot of material but you can put them on the pre-made garage shelves and let you use up all that extra vertical space while not just stacking things in piles or shoving them in boxes.

Your ultimate goal here should be that you can stand in the middle of the garage and identify every single thing currently stored in the garage without taking a step. You probably won't reach the goal of 100% identification, and that's fine. Just shoot for as much as you possibly can.

Akro-bins (NOT the clear ones) are probably the best bet BUT do you NEED to keep the stuff or is it more of an in case of.

I use plastic bins from "akro-mils" on amazon. Here's an example. They have in like 328473 different sizes. They also sale a rail that you can screw onto your bench so they hand from it. Super handy. Have all my bullets and smaller parts separated out and when I use them I place it on the rail.

I'm renovating my house so I don't have any pictures but my brass goes in clear plastic storage boxes after they have been decapped and cleaned. I also include anti-tarnish paper to keep them nice. Bullets get thrown in bags with an anti-tarnish strip then placed in these http://www.amazon.com/Akro-Mils-8212-Stacking-AkroBins-Hardware/dp/B00002NB5I . They are the same thing you get with the hornady lnl ap. I then label them and hang them on the wall.

I like having case gauges, sample rounds (to verify seating depth), and the case feeder parts in caliber-specific bins; it makes life easier. The [30210 bins] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00002NB5I/) do this wonderfully.

Those look pretty cool. Not sure that I have enough to need that much storage yet, but hopefully one day!

Edit: Found some small ones that would work pretty well

Thanks! I'm guessing I'll be able to find a similar style bin that's cheaper over here :)
