I've found that the RCBS Competition Die box is not really set up for storing multiple bullet guide and seater plugs. The plugs and guides mate, but loosely, meaning that after a few trips to the range, they roll into whatever corner and in whatever way they want to.
Surfing thru ebuy, I looked for plastic tubes to store them in. Further searches brought up the coin tubes that are an alternative to the old school wrapper.
Lots of math aside, find the coin tube for a roll of dimes. The standard roll of dimes is 50 dimes.
Anyways, there are two types that I looked at, one is a simple tube with a lid, the other is a square plastic extrusion, seriously over-engineered for what I need it to do, but it does look muy macho...
This tube has inner ribs, and the seater plug is resting on the inner diameter. The bullet guide has an O ring, and fits snugly into the ribs. The seater plug and bullet guide will fall out from it's own weight if you invert the tube.
