Copper solvent is the aggressive chemistry here. Glass is the certain answer.

Case lube

A wax, spray or liquid applied thinly to brass before resizing, so the case does not seize in the die. Small quantities, used constantly, and wiped off afterwards.

Which makes it an applicator question

A pad, a spray or a finger. For a liquid lube a small bottle with a controlled dispense, and this shelf is thin on dispensing closures with only 221 plain caps and little else.

And it must not reach the components

Lube on a bullet or inside a case mouth changes how it seats and, for the inside of a case, is a contamination problem. Keep it away from the open containers.

Bore solvent

Cleaning chemistry, and the copper-removing solvents are the aggressive ones. Many carry ammonia, which is what dissolves copper fouling.

Which is a resin compatibility question

An ammonia-bearing solvent in the wrong plastic degrades the container. 56 glass containers here and 15 glass Boston rounds are the certain answer.

And 78 PP containers are the tolerant plastic

Polypropylene handles a wider range than PET. For a decanted solvent it is the better polyolefin, and for anything uncertain glass settles it.

The liner is in contact with it

9 liners and sealing discs. A cap that corrodes shut is the first sign that the liner was wrong, and by then the closure is finished.

Decanting a solvent has duties

The shop consumables property sets out the workplace labelling rules for transferring a chemical into another container, including the narrow portable container exemption.

Ammonia is corrosive to some metals

Which is the reason to not leave solvent sitting on a bench near brass and steel components. A sealed container and a wiped bench.

Neither liquid is the hard part of this craft

The sorting is. These two are ordinary container questions and the two refusals are where the care is needed.

The Davis Pack Supply catalog, measured 19 October 2026. The reloading and shooting shelf is 539 rows: 251 containers and 288 closures. 5 mL to 500 mL with a median of 177; 17 containers at 15 mL or under, 25 at 30 or under, 60 at 60 or under, 116 at 120 or under. 117 PET, 78 PP, 56 glass. 210 jars, 27 bottles, 12 tubs and pails, 2 tubes. 91 clear, 47 white, 32 amber, 26 black, 24 natural. Closures: 221 continuous thread, 22 dome lids, 18 lug and twist, 9 liners and sealing discs, 6 round tubs, 5 phenolic, 4 specialty.

The archetype behind this shelf is store-small-dry: 15 to 500 mL, wide mouth, PP and PET and glass, cold, solid, chunky, scooped, with "small dry parts, wide mouth to get fingers in, clear so you can see what is inside" as its stated reason. Eleven of the thirteen leaves are small dry parts and the shelf is 210 jars against 27 bottles, which fits. It describes the powder and primer leaves too, and should not.

Written from 27 CFR 555.11 and 555.141, and from the catalog as it stood on 19 October 2026. No storage quantity limits for smokeless powder or primers appear here: those come from NFPA 495 and from state and local fire codes and they vary. The reason given for keeping powder in its original container is the industry's stated reason, not a regulation and not something this property has independently verified. Nothing here addresses who may manufacture ammunition for sale or how any of it may be transported.
