Die storage when using Hornady Lock-N-Load bushings.

[John E Davies]

For when the original die box will no longer close, because the L-N-L quick change bushings have a larger flange diameter (1.375"). This applies to my Lee dies, I am not sure if other die manufacturers would have this problem. These cool in-safe pistol boxes are sturdy, solvent resistant, double latching and come with a self adhesive pad for the bottom.

If you put the paperwork under the bottom die trays you can read the caliber from the end:

There is a fair bit of room lengthwise for other small reloading stuff, or you could insert some foam rubber padding.

FYI: For scale, that soft case for my dandy new Buchanan Precision Machine Press is 13" x 7". Lee sells their die trays separately for about $5, I plan to order a 4-die tray to replace that 3 die tray and the loose factory crimp die. If you try this with a different brand of dies and it works, or it doesn't, please post a comment here. Obviously, a tray with a hinged lid would have to have the lid removed, or just left part way open.

Thanks.
