Storing lube dies????

[abunaitoo]

How do you store your Lyman/RCBS lube dies????
I have them in a plastic box with dividers, but it takes up more space than I'd like.

I have a Big Cigar Box, I use the original little green RCBS boxes and Lyman tubes for older dies, for newer ones I use Small RX bottles with the NON-child proof caps.
And a tiny tupperware box for top punches.

I use the plastic vials my blood sugar test strips come in.

I keep them in their original containers, and they're all in a big margarine container with the top punches inside a cabnit.

I bought and traded and many have no original box or container so just use a plastic slide top 12 gauge shot shell box. Top punches are inserted in holes drilled in a piece of 1" thick scrap attached to the bottom edge of a loading bench shelf.

I only have a few. I keep them in a vape mod box.

Plastic coin tubes. Keeps'em clean and ready to toss in whatever box or bag you want. Just mark them on the side and top, makes it easy to pick. Out the one you want

I just pile em in a big ziplock baggy.

Plastic Plano tackle boxes. Each die has its own slot.

+1 Plastic pill bottles are a natural.

Zip lock bags. Keeps them clean and dry.

Same here, works great.

I made a wooden box with a tray that slides out. The tray has blind holes bored in the bottom that hold the dies vertical and smaller blind holes that hold the top punches. The box also holds the wrenches for the lubersizer.

A hardwood board about 3/4" - 1" thick provides enough material. The blind holes are drilled with a Forstner bit just slightly larger in diameter than the die and a regular drill bit is used to make the holes that hold the shanks of the top punches. If you don't have a Forstner bit of the correct size, you can use a regular flat spade bit and drill all the way through the board and then glue another board to the bottom. (this trick turns bored through holes into blind holes )

I'm a plastic tackle box guy too. I have several of them to hold all the odds and ends of my reloading gear. (lock rings, trimmer collets and buttons, reamers, cutters, sizer buttons....etc)

They stack nice and neatly too and hold P-touch labels well.

Shameless plug if you have access to a 3d printer

I may put up a version that allows you to customize the cover with a size (if there is interest)

Before I acquired enough dies where I need a entire drawer in my multi-drawer metal tool box for my Lyman dies, I used a flip-top plastic ammo box (12 ga) like this...

Top punches go into weekly (7 compartments) Pill organizer boxes.

I just use a plastic 20 shotshell holder. Will hold 25 each in its own spot, of course I need two of them. The toolman.

+1 for the blood sugar test strip containers. I make my own dies on the lathe, so needed a better method of storage than just loose in a box. Was at a friends place and saw him test his blood, and a light bulb went off in my head when I saw the strip container. The dies fit in so well, it's almost like they were made for them. I write the size on the lid with a sharpie and stand them up in an old cigar box, in order of size. Easy to pick out the one I want.
