How do you store dies with Hornady QD bushings?

[SDHNTR]

I really like the Hornady quick detach bushings for swapping dies in and out of your press and maintaining the setting. But my one pet peeve is that once you install the bushing, the die is no longer fit back in the box. What do you guys do?

I take the bushing off and throw it in the trash. It will fit back in the box and you will get more repeatable results. Unfortunately It will cost about 3 seconds to screw the die into the press.

Inline Fabrication makes die holders that fit the Hornady bushings perfectly.

Custom for me.

I always just kept them in a drawer in my reloading table.

They fit fine in Hornady die boxes. I just put all my non Hornady dies into empty die boxes.

It's ironic you are worried about the time it doesn't save, while spending your time with a post that is zero help to anyone.
Maybe you didn't know some presses require the bushings to be on the dies.
Like the Hornady AP that I load 8 different handgun and 2 rifle cartridges on. I find the LnL bushings to be very repeatable.
To the OP : I put my dies in the die boxes bothe RCBS and Hornady.

Yeah, I certainly find the bushings to be more repeatable than resetting the lock ring each time!

Of course most of my dies are Redding. They no fit.

Or they suck and will cause issues after a few thousand rounds.



Once damaged they will have a bunch of vertical play and keep backing out.
