    easy storage for your your H&I dies

    Both Lyman and RCBS no longer include cases for their H&I dies.
    I am a long term diabetic and hoarder, so have accumulated many plastic cases that diabetic test strips come in.
    They are perfect to store Lyman and RCBs H&I dies.
    PM your mailing address and how many you would like. First come first served, no dies included, only the case.
    No charge, pay it forward
    Have a GREAT day !Click image for larger version.

    As a diabetic myself I have many of these emptys in the loading room. I never thought of storing lube dies in them but have screws and other small gun related items in them. They are all marked with a tag that describes their contents. I keep them in a cigar box to be able to find them on the loading bench so I can find them in all the clutter.

    I also use plastic pill bottles, a small piece of stick on label on the lid with size and top punch data makes it easy to find what I am looking for. The bottles I have are tall enough for both the die and top punch.

    I use the plastic paintball gun tubes. They have room for the top punches too.

    I use the same diabetic test strips and repurpose the vials for premeasured black powder loads in the field. 6 vials and a ball board with 6 patched balls fit in your pocket,no need for a bag and horn. They also have desiccant built in so you're powder stays dry.

    They are also good for storing bore brushes so they stay out of everything and do not get frayed or bent, etc. Sorry for adding to the hijack of the thread..

    That's excellent! Would never have thought of that.
