Reloading - tool organizer (pics)
I have been trying to clean up the basement a bit and get more organized over the Christmas-New Year's holidays. Was putting stuff away in my reloading bench/cabinet, and took out my case-length/cartridge-length gages and trimmer arbors. Thought you guys might like how I organized them:
These tackle-box type organizers are just great. This one is fully adjustable, and I really took advantage of that to put all of these tools in one handy container!

Well duh,
I've used tackle boxes for years to store small gun parts(arrow fletching equipment, bow parts) and other small tools. My wife uses those kind of boxes all the time for her beadwork supplies. Still, I never thought of using them for that. It sure would beat the old check box I currently have my trimming pilots/collets just piled in.

That reloading room and bench already looks pretty darn organized to me! I've seen worse - mainly in other posts here!!!
I use these boxes for all kinds of things. I also keep a lot of cleaning supplies in them. Archery stuff, spare magazines. Even have a few deep, single-compartment ones in the safe holding handguns I rarely shoot. I have purchased them for my wife for her sewing supplies and the kids for various small toys (can you say Legos?). A cheap way to tame the clutter!!!

It changes from time to time but this is pretty close to how my little corner of heaven looks.

I use the Norma N 201 for 30-30 Winchester (125 grs and 150grs bullets) Norma 202 for 30-30 Winchester (150grs. and 170grs. bullets). Norma 200 for the 375 Winchester (target loads 200grs. and 220grs.) and Norma N204 (150grs. and 165grs.) and Norma MRP (180grs. and 200grs.) for 30.06 out of my 1895.homefront wrote:Ravenman,
Nice setup!
Maybe you could tell us sometime which Norma powders you use in your lever guns.
Load about 80% of my rifle (223 Remington to 458 Winchester Magnum) reloads with Norma powder.

Love those little boxes - Some "tackle boxes" will hold a set of four of them, too, to group say 'cleaning stuff' or 'blackpowder stuff' - got one that holds four plastic trays like that, and has space in the end for upright aerosol cans or powder or solvents or whatever.
Sometime get one of those little mini-typewriters that prints only labels, too - they stay on better than some of those plastic labels. Got one for $19 at an office supply place.

You guys make me feel bad! But not bad enough to organize my bench any better! Too much stuff crammed into my small space, which also holds my gun safes, and work bench!
3 safes, 8' bench, 30 some dies, lubrisizer and 40 some dies, dozens of molds, dozens of case neck expanders, casting equipment, 5'x4'x2' four drawer cabinet full of bullets, primers, powder, and brass, 6' tall ammo locker, about 50 soft and hard cases, and tons of used and new gun parts!
(then there's the shop!)
I don't even want to post a picture!
