So i just finished setting up my LnL, and started moving all my dies from their 4hole lee turrets to the lnl bushings, problem is, i am loosing the way I used to store them (kept them in the turret, in those round Lee Red Die holders, worked great), but now I hage 25 dies in bushings with no real easy clear way to store them, they dont fit back into the orig lee Die boxes.... Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks
 
I read about a guy who took a 2x8 and drilled holes in the wood the size of the bushing. I don't any in front of me to tell you the size, but that sounded like a real simple solution. It is one that I am contemplating, but the dies w/bushings fit in the orignal boxes (I use Hornady dies for pistol which is what I load on my LnL).
 
All of my dies that I use on the L-N-L have bushings on them. I do not swap bushing between dies.

I use primarily RCBS die boxes for the dies with L-N-L bushing. I do have to cut out one of the die saddles inside the box to make room for the L-N-L bushing on the latch side of the box.

I think Lyman boxes are similar but since I am not a University of TN fan, I cannot bring myself to have orange boxes in my reloading room. I think the Lyman boxes are a little less expensive.

Redding die boxes do not work due to their design. There is not enough room inside of the box for the L-N-L bushings.

Dillon die boxes should work. I have a couple but have not tried placing dies with L-N-L bushings in them.

Current Hornady die boxes should work but they are too large for my die storage area.

The die boxes let me store other bits and pieces in the box that are associated with the cartridge. They help protect the dies from dust and moisture.

I have a mix of Redding and RCBS dies. I did not have to buy any new boxes as I had enough RCBS die boxes to swap them around. Dies used on the L-N-L went in RCBS boxes, dies used on the single stage press went in Redding boxes.
