Redding dies and storage boxes

[warbird2006]

Hi
I am getting frustrated with the Redding green boxes which comes with the dies. I use Bonanza press and when I move the locking rings lower on the dies they don't fit the box.
Forster and Whitten have nice large cases with enough space.
Anyone has a solution for this problem?

Since it is a 50 cent box, i just grab the wood bit, cut a hole in the end of the box and stick the die out the hole.

I buy Forster boxes for all of my dies. There's enough room in one for a FL die, seater, collet die, Wilson case holder, bump gage and an OAL gage. Keeps all the goodies together in one package.

Another option: Piece of bent sheet metal, angle or wood with 7/8 holes. This one is sheet metal aluminum bent on a ninety attached to the end of my reloading bench.

The Whidden box and the Forster box are identical, just a different color and name. Call Whidden and buy a few boxes from them. That's what I do for my 338 Edge and 338 Lapua. They were $8.00 each when I bought them......

Measure the die / die sets for OAL, then either ask T.O.W.M.B.O or go with her to WalMart and pick up the number of the cheap small plastic containers. OR as "Hogpatrol" suggests, get a 7/8 wood hole drill bit, and 2 pieces of either 1 x 4 or 1 x 6 and the length determined by the storage area you want to keep your dies. Clamp the 2 pieces together, mark your spacing based on the OD of the locking rings. Drill an 1/8" pilot hole through both boards. Separate the boards and drill the 7/8" holes through one of the boards. Secure the two pieces together, and you are set. Remember the 1/8" pilot hole, now there is a place for the de caping pins to fit.

I use the semi-clear MTM storage boxes & put in them all particular needed for each cartridge(all dies, gizzys, mandrels, shell holders, bushings, shims, etc).
