Ive come to the realization that i really need to organize my reloading stuff better, wondering if anybody had any pictures of how they organized thier parephenalia, top of my list of pet peeves is my shell holders, traditionally i just keep the holder in the die box that they belong too, but at 10$ a pop im not really planning to buy one holder for each set of dies, so i end up digging through other die boxes looking for the holder i need. show me your ideas people! lol thanks
 
I use Ammo cans for everything... My wife says I am the reason the there is the Meme... I do not load but between my dresser that has stuff sorted in levels and a code that only someone skilled in understanding firearms and me would be able to know and ammo boxes I have it all covered.

... This reminds me that I need to make a trip to Milarm and buy more Ammo boxes, things are getting cramped again.

Never posted pics here yet, but the backing for my loading-bench is peg-board. You know the little hooks you can buy in bulk from Canadian Tire or other hardware places like that ? The kind businesses use to hang bags/packages of stuff. They each can hold a few shell-holders.
Also; while you're in a hardware store look into those coated wire shelves/grates. The openings are about an inch. That means standard 7/8" dies slide in until stopped by the lock-ring.

My shell holders are on a magnetic bar - about 18" long. I also keep allen keys and barrel stubs on it. You can get these at Princess auto, or, Ikea (magnetic knife holder), and I am sure various other places. It works great!
 
Thanks for the ideas, I like the tool box and magnetic strip idea, still not quite the solution that is right for me but I'll probably use the ideas for something else
 
For small parts and dies I use see thru parts bins at Princess Auto about 4"X 8"X 3" they look like clear fishing lure boxes but work well I label each for calibre or use.

Have about 8-10 of them and they stack well..
 
I really do need to master the photo entering methods for this site. For My dies & shell holder organization I drilled a bunch of 1 " holes in a wood shelf for the dies and pounded a bunch of nails into it as well to hold the shell holders ( all in a row,smallest to largest) and then mounted it at an angle (for easy reading/choosing) to a wall. cheap and easy, took about an hr to do.
