Greetings! I'm currently in the process of focusing my pistol ammo production to my 2 (dedicated: SPP & LPP) Dillon SDBs. In order to accommodate the various bullet shapes that I load, I'm using multiple tool heads so I can use 1 set of dies with multiple tool heads which contain the respective seater stem. Currently, for 5 different cartridges, I'm utilizing 7 different tool heads.

Is anyone taking this approach for reloading their pistol ammo? If so, how are you efficiently storing your readjusted tool heads?

As always, thanks in advance for your help!

I bought generic food storage containers from WM. Snap on lids to keep dirt etc. out. Lightly spray the dies in the container with oil to deter rust. And they stack nicely. About $5 for 4.

This is what I use for my Dillon xl650. Tool heads are pre-staged by caliber with required dies. Built it from scrap lumber in my shop. Simple, not sophisticated but works for me.

Had pne like that built into the shelves in my shop...bolted to the wall. Only real difference was I had 2 hinged doors made out of plastic with empty sewing thread spools for handles. Left behind when I moved. I have my toolheads either in the rolling workbench or in a couple of machinist tool boxes with other Dillon parts
 
Any neat organized area. Just so they are in a cool dry area. I have seen some real disasters in garages and damp basements.
