I'm looking for recommendations on a bottle to store my Ballistol in with a pen dropper that does not leak every. Anyone have one they use that they are 100% satisfied with? I have attached a picture of what I am looking for. 
Ballistol dropper bottle.

I got the same, I do get some dripping on the caps but that's due to left over liquids coming out the end as the shop heats up, causing a little pressure in the bottle.

Yeah, I just started using that one in the dropper so nothing yet. Kroil is a picky one. Had a old can of it and that did pull itself out of the can through the seems and gummed up. BTY, Kroil has a 5 year shelf life.

Boy, I hope not. I have most of a gallon can that's got to be right about five years old...

I use plastic pipettes and use Ballistol out of a screw cap can. There are some chemicals that leach out certain solvents from plastic containers. Not sure if that’s possible with Ballistol but I just use the pipette to put a drop/s on what I’m doing.

Unfortunately that is the case. I heard it out the horses mouth. After that, it just won't be as effective.

I've bought a fortune in supplies from Brownells over the last 30+yrs but the dropper bottles that I purchased (10yrs ago?) did not seal well and some of them the needle applicators slid out after a short time. I'm glad to hear they improved them.
I have kroil that has got a muddy precipitate after a few years. I used to use it out of the can and was blissfully unaware of the problem until I put it in the transparent dropper bottles.
It seems to work ok so I didn't get too worried.

Yeah, that stuff is not cheap for it to start heading downhill after 5 years. I only purchase the small cans now.

I'll keep using mine until it no longer works. I don't seem to use it as much as I once did (hence the aging gallon can...). Most manufacturers put an expiration date on their product that is well short of actual expiration. Perhaps the expiration is "worst case".

I put some Ballistol in a glass bottle with a plastic dripper. It's been about a year and it turned sort of cloudy and snotty looking.
