Trimming cases

[Thunder Struck]

I am sort of new into reloading. Over the years i have acquired several different dies and trimmers. Yes i still do them all by hand, i enjoy doing each bullet and case one at a time, my release.. Ha But i trim all my cases with the Lee hand trimmer and have a pile of screw in length rods with the little case holder. Yes each one is marker per caliber but i was looking to see if anybody has a neat way of storing them other than putting them all in a box.

Thanks and Merry Christmas

Not for your specific use but for other odds and ends, I use small prescription pill jars. You can then label each one.

Or just take a nice piece of wood and drill holes in it (like a loading tray or 22 rimfire board) Like a drill bit holder.

A good set of drill bits and a piece of wood appx. 2 in. thick does the trick . You just drill each hole barely oversize 1 1/2 inches deep and space them about 1 inch apart . A fine point sharpie marker will lable each pin on the edge of the wood block for fast refference . Hope this helps .

How many do you have? I use a Plano 360 clear tackle tray for my Lee Case gage trimmers. I use a lot of the Plano Tackle trays for reloading. I also keep on for my dummy rounds I make up for each caliber/bullet combo. They are pretty handy.

I use the parts bins that you put little screws and nails in, the ones that you have to tilt at a 45 angle to once you pull out the drawer to take out the drawer.

Like a few of the others, my first thought was a block of wood with holes drilled in it. Space them far enough apart to label, and you are organized.

I have a 2x12 - 17" long.
The first 3" is for shell holders, all marked by caliber.
The other 14" is used to hold toolheads.

I'd post a pic, but a buddy has it right now to create a 2nd one.

Remember to keep it all oiled as the wood will attract moisture & cause the stuff to rust.

I also keep mine in a clear Plano Tackle box. I have 7 different calibers in one along with my Primer pocket cleaning brushes and chamfer tool in it also. all labeled and easy to get to.

Hope you're not wasting time trimming handgun brass.

You could always store them in the attic and get some WFTs In all seriousness I have nothing to add though, the wood block with holes drilled sounds like a great solution.
