Idea for storing and organizing loose shell holders

[diopter]

Just have to label.

Bought at Fabricville for $8.95+ taxes.

Little more money but I like that all the posts are numbered View attachment 298104

I have shell holders from CH4D, Hornady, Lee & RCBS and they do not follow the same numbering system.

Besides, they don't make that anymore.

I would need 10 of the same shell holder for these calibers, if I keep them in the die boxes: 243 Win308, 30-06, 270, 8x57, 7x57, 9.3x57, 6.5x58 portuguese, 45ACP.
Good thing I don't have any .284Win based chamberings or .243Win.

Correction, do have 243 dies.

Same, got sick of them being in different locations or having to look up which one I needed, especially if the brand of dies and shell holder weren't the same, so just started buying 1 for every die set and keep it in the box.

+2. Makes it easy to find. Give a wipe down with a oily rag, and store in the die boxes. Sometimes i still need to look for holders, only one holder for 30-06 family, 2.5 family...etc.

I 3D printed a shell holder holder and put an empty case in each one for ID.

Nice set up! I have no room for fancy things like that though, in the die box they go! The die boxes stack nicely on the shelf.

Just looked - 19 different die sets in the drawer - each has a shell holder for my Rockchucker press and each has the Lee case trim pilot and its shell holder. Maybe made more sense when there was only three. Deciding to buy a new-to-me cartridge requires automatic inclusion of 200 new brass, FLS dies, shell holders and Lee trimmer set-up. I do keep just one of each needed size collet for the RCBS bullet puller, though. And haven't broke or bent a de-capping pin since I got the Universal de-primer (with spare pins for it!!)

Pistol I load on a progressive so all the dies are loaded in the toolheads. Shell holders I use for bullet pulling etc on a single stage so it saves dragging out the boxes.

Yeah I only load for rifle thus far, on a single stage...

I got a Redding snap case for loose shell holders.

You could make your own. Piece of wood, dowel.

I de-cap everything with a universal die, on a single stage before cleaning the brass, so even pistol rounds I load on the LNL AP and RCBS Piggyback progressive have shell holders also.
