Are they just trying to be annoying or is there a point to the round yogurt container shaped die boxes lee makes? They stand out like a sore thumb, they don't stack and are a pain to get opened. I just took a trip to cabelas and then bass pro looking for the replacement rcbs box and all they carry now is the round awkward one.

Ugh I just had to vent
 
Well it seems amazon also sell the green rcbs boxes, but for 16$ each that's price gouging imho.

make a search for die box on amazon.ca, you'll find the droids you're looking for.
 
If I'm thinking of the Lee round container you're talking about, It is great for storing the 3 hole turret in.

I think the turret deal is the idea for the round boxes.
Used to think they were good until I had a couple dozen die sets and no turret press. Got to agree that they are a pain.
Even $7 for a plastic box is a bit steep. What else are people doing to get rid of the round tubs?
 
I don't have a turret press and have 14 sets of dies two of which are in the round containers. So I am in the same position as vagrantviking. The reason for my annoyance today. I know they had the rcbs square boxes 6 months ago.

Use your imagination, you can let your wife use the round lid as a cookie cutter and make magnum sugar cookies. ;)

Some of you guys would complain if they hung you with a brand new rope. :slap:

It is my understanding my ancestors came from England and moved to America after the oldest of four brother fell and broke his neck at a public gathering.

The three remaining Horton brothers immediately booked passage on the first ship leaving England going to the colonies.

The two youngest and the most honest of the brothers stayed in America and the remaining brother who took after his dishonest older brother moved to Canada.

One of his descendants borrowed money from his Hockey team (and never paid the team back) and started making and serving really bad coffee and donuts.

Execution by hanging is generally performed with a rope that has been prepared by boiling and drying under tension. New rope tends to coil, which causes it to act like a spring when it supports the weight of the body during hanging. This is at best undignified and at worst likely to interfere with the effectiveness of the procedure and/or damage the corpse. Thus, one might complain upon learning the he would be hanged with a new, unprepared rope.

The U.S. Army document, "Procedure for Military Executions," describes the preparation of the rope for execution by hanging:

30. Rope
The rope will be of manila hemp, at least 3/4, inch and not more than 1% inches in diameter and approximately 30 feet in length.
The rope will be boiled and then stretched while drying to eliminate any spring, stiffness, or tendency to coil. The hangman's
knot will be used in the preparation of the noose. That portion of the noose which slides through the knot will be treated
with wax, soap, or grease to insure a smooth sliding action through the knot. The noose will be placed snugly around the prisoner's
neck in such a manner that the hangman's knot is directly behind his left ear. The night before the hanging the condemned will be
given a cold cup of coffee and a stale donut from Tim Horton's Restaurant.

I wish I could have a "good one", I had a Hernia operation on Monday and the anesthetic put my large and small colon to sleep.
And my wife has been making me drink hot prune juice all day today. I think my colon has a hangman's knot in it. :bangHead:

I used to think there was no such thing as too much information.
 
The round boxes are annoying, can't stack them and waste a lot of space. Lee does sell just the empty rectangular die box for a couple bucks or they used to at least.

As far as Tim Horton's story is concerned - I would agree that it is criminal to sell that swill.
 
Actually this postings on the round Lee die cases has been very informative. Who would ever guessed the lid would hold 10 onces of warm prune juice.

Come on guys, the round plastic cases are cheaper to make and the savings is passed on to the reloaders.

You can always stack the round and square cases on top of each other and play reloaders Jenga. and whoever knocks the die containers over buys the drinks.

You could even play the game with your girlfriend or wife.
