I use Harbor Freight cases.

No They have several styles and sizes to chose from.
I too own RCE dies, as for storage, I use fishing tackle box. Lots of compartment to store my dies and appropriate punches next to the dies, that way I don't mistakenly use the wrong punch to the wrong dies, and the compartment fits and organizes everything nicely.Quote:

+1 to the harbor freight compartment boxes with the blue seals. They come in varying sizes and are sturdy enough for abunch of dies and punches.
Just purchased a few dozen of these. They are the perfect arrangement for swaging dies, press accessories, shotshell reloading parts, etc. Thanks for the idea. I caught them 1/2 price on Amazon today.Quote:

I have RCE equipment and store them in fishing tackle boxes and I put VCI paper in all the compartments to prevent rust.
I asked Richard about storage. Not so much in what but how. He said use them more :) The swaging lube protects them.Quote:

I bought mostly the 11" ones for reloading and swage dies, but also got 10 14" ones for my Hollywood Gun Shop shotshell dies. They are a perfect fit for the very tall master dies and even powder and shot droppers
