How do you organize your shell holders?

[kerplode]

Hi...
I buy a shell holder for each die set snd keep it in the die storage box with the die set.
Always know where it is, never have to search for it.

Most if not all of my dies have a shellholder in the die box. The most common calibers, I have a Inline fabrication bracket on the back of my press upright which holds the shellholders. These are used when I deprime brass.

I buy empty Lee shell holder boxes for about $5. They hold 12 to a box and I write the Rcbs number in Sharpe on the lid. With the lid i don't have worry about spilling them. Duplicates go in the die box with the dies.

I keep mine in the die box also. Never have to fret about where they are.

[Land Owner]

Both RCBS and Lyman Shell-holder Assortment boxes, 12 (+/-) in each, with the outside top of boxes annotated by marker in a tool box,

AND

an additional, long, plastic, wire-tie, through the middle, with each shell holder in its numerical order, and a safety pin keeper through the ends. I also like Noah Zark's round ring idea (post #29)...food for thought.

Seems like a Co-Ax press is the better solution to multible shell-holders confusion....as well as being the *best* single-station press.

I have and enjoy using a Forster Co-Ax press which features the feature of NO shell holder required. (There are a few changeable doo-hickeys (technical term) which need changing out for a few calibres the supplied ones do not sufficiently grab/hold cases, though.) HOWEVER, not considering all the other presses on ones reloading room -- there are the priming tools, etc., which still require shell holders !

You must be my brother....

I do the same. Love my Co-Ax (had it for about 50 years!!) Only need shell holders when using the RCBS Bench Primer or doing military case sizing for the first time on the Rock Chucker.

That reminds me, I need to sell all my Lee and RCBS hand priming tools. Since getting the Bench Prime, I have not used them in over a year.

I use a couple of these, pretty inexpensive. The number stickers stink but i put them in numeric order and know pretty quick which stack is the right one. Made by RCBS.

This is what I use too.+1

I figure it also helps keep me out of those crooked BINGO parlors.

My die sets are mounted in spare turrets, shell holders are stored with the turrets too. No need to adjust dies unless changing projectiles, and that seldom ever happens.
When I get the chance to load I’d prefer not spending a half hour getting everything set and adjusted.

I store my shell holders in a couple of these or a similar one.

For most shell holder sizes I have multiples but as I hand prime and follow up an RCBS standard bench primer to seat high primers deeper I need all my extra holders together. Also with multiple cartridges using the same holder I would have a lot of holders of the same size to keep every die set fully outfitted. Hence the holders all in one assortment.

Although I started with all RCBS and Hornady is my current favorite, I've taken a cue from my two Lee die sets. Every die box has its shell holder, basic data, and at least one dipper. I've went a step farther and added cartridge specific trimmer bits and about anything else that'll fit. Beyond nice dies, with that great elliptical expander, Hornady provides huge die boxes - lots fits in'em.

Organize? What's this word you use, must be one of those 'ferin' words I hear about......... actually, I used a machine tooling drawer cabinet that I picked up at a yard sale for 5 bucks. Most of my smaller reloading supplies are in there.

[Rich/WIS]

Don't load a lot of calibers anymore and keep the appropriate shell hold in the box with the dies. Top punches are in plastic tubes with the number and bullet it is used for written on a piece of file label on the tube. This works well as NOE does not put a number on their top punches. For molds that take a numbered top punch I write the top punch number on the box as well.

That’s nice!

Same here.
