Does anyone make a die box that holds several dies? I mean commercial not custom made wooden ones. Forester has one that you can get 4-dies into. How many of us have the traditional 3 “standard” dies and then get a Lee factory crimp die, a Lyman M-die (sorry John A.), maybe a trim die, etc. It sure would help clean-up the reloading room shelves and save time searching for boxes, etc. as you process your brass, etc.

I have a custom wooden one for my BPCR .40-70 ss that holds (9) dies and is really an asset.

Admittedly, some dies are seldom used, depending on the gun and chambering that you are using, but good organization can't be beat.

Look in the fishing department of Gander Mountain or Cabelas for fishing plug containers.

http://www.castbulletassoc.org/view_user.php?id=281>Tom Acheson   This holds 4 dies well and will also hold a loaded 4 die Lee Turret for the Lee turret presses. I have a bunch of them and they are durable:

Lee also sells a 4 die flat box:

Hornady die boxes are also available, and hold 4 dies, plus a shell holder

I use the Hornady dies boxes. Lots of space in them. Midway or midsouth has them

I tried the MTM box but I missed their note about Competition dies not fitting so a buddy made me a wooden one like it. It's in the back on the photo. The boxes other are L to R....100-round walnut for 40-60 SS BO ammo, range caddy for BPCR silhouette matches, along with a “line box” for the matches and a die box for the 40-70ss.

I'll look closer at the suggestions above.

I don't know why I didn't think of a Plano box, like the one I keep my Star stuff in. The dividers are adjustable.

Badammo,

Can you get (5) dies and a shell holder in a Hornady box?

Thanks!

I recently took all my lee dies out of those darn red round containers and threw them away. lee round containers don't stack well, take up way to much room. if I hadn't thrown them away I would send for the shipping. Ric in Yakima and I split 100 cardboard boxes and they will hold 3 dies or cast bullets. But most of all they stack neatly and don't fall over. Ric and I have split several cases of plastic boxes from midway nicer looking than cardboard but cost a lot more. argie1891

if you think you have it figured out then you just dont understand
