Anybody have any good sources for cardboard boxes/styrofoam trays for reloads? I know they have the plastic boxes but they're not cheap and are bulky. Wanting to store quiet a few rounds in a nice uniform manner.

Those are new, I've never seen that brand. It seems like they forgoe dividers to save cost, they are definitely cheap. I use to order white boxes with foam for a great price, but I can't seem to find the supplier all of a sudden."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

Not if you're stock piling ammo. If it's your regular consumable ammo then you want reusable boxes for sure.Originally posted by ceyko View PostAm I missing something, wouldn't even expensive ammo cans/boxes be a better investment?"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

Are we talking organised 50-100 count boxes or large just bulk waterproof type boxes? Either one can be stacked nicely. My rifle stuff gets 50-100 count flip tops with labeling for which gun they go to, load particulars and date they were loaded.Originally posted by CJ View PostNot if you're stock piling ammo.

The boxes don't need to be sealed because the ammo can they are in is sealed. Even the plastic flip top MTM style boxes are not waterproof.Originally posted by dee View PostAre we talking organised 50-100 count boxes or large just bulk waterproof type boxes?

Ammo can type boxes is what I was referring to when I said bulk boxes. I have several that used for shotgun shells as I just dumped them in the box loose when I was loading them a lot. I had 2 different colors that I used one for 20 and the other for 12 they are a plastic type but have a rubber seal.Originally posted by CJ View PostThe boxes don't need to be sealed because the ammo can they are in is sealed.

I like the new ones with the two piece hinges, the older ones with the folding plastic hinge are inevitably going to break off eventually.Originally posted by Semper299 View PostThe thing I like about the MTM boxes is that they are sturdy. I zip lock bag ammo in 100 counts, and store in MTM boxes."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

Very true, but I still just use the Cabelas flip top 50 or 100 rd boxes. They stack nicely and the ammo fits well. In hindsight I kinda wish I went with a hinged top one, but these stack so well and changing now would just kill the OCD part of me.Originally posted by CJ View PostI like the new ones with the two piece hinges, the older ones with the folding plastic hinge are inevitably going to break off eventually.
