Last week I elected to load up a batch of 45 Colt ammo. No problem for me to find 3-set of dies as they're mounted in Dillon 550b. Or, the shell holders to put in my RCBS Bench-mounted primer. Or, the L E Wilson case gauges; L E Wilson trimmer case holder, etc.. However, I got the ideal to -- perhaps -- find and purchase some plastic or wood boxes, roughly the size old Dutch Masters cigars had come in, to put EVERYTHING associated with one caliber in said box?
It sure would have saved me some time and effort had I been able to just grab one box, say, labeled "45 COLT" -- in which everything needed for reloading this caliber might be in it. Now -- as you can see from photo of my bench -- I have a holder I made for each die set, and to its left individual boxes for M dies, Factory crimp dies, and you know -- all other stuff. For some calibers -- notably my .221 Rem Fireball -- I probably have enough "stuff" to almost fill two boxes! And -- Murphy Law -- I regularly need spend way too much time searching for that one item I need...
Doing an Internet search I could not readily find a box which might work. And, it does seem to me an "everything you need to reload one caliber" box may not be the dumbest idea.
Hence, what do you think, for one? And, if you agree -- do you know of a recommended box which would work? I will add I found one box on Etsy and three or four on Amazon which might do -- but -- an added wish is they be in the under-ten-dollar range.
