Storing Lubed Cast Bullets

Hi,
I'm about to knock out a thousand or so cast bullets.
Once sized 'n' lubed, how is best to store them as I don't want the lube to dry oot.
Would a freezer bag or airtight box do the job?
Regards
Chris

Just size and lube as you use them no need to lube and size a thousand.

Roger, how long would they last in the tubs?
Looking for about 6 months.
Cheers

Many years ago when I was pretending to be a scientist I obtained from our microbiology department a dozen or so square plastic Petri dishes. These are about 4 inches square and each holds 100 lubed 357 bullets (10 x 10). They are getting a bit knackered after being used for 30 years but are still in use. They keep the bullets clean and tidy and you can stack them up.
I have no idea where to buy new ones but I'm sure ebay will have some. In fact I may take a look there myself I deserve some new ones!
