What Ammo Box for 204 R

Post by 32dgrz »

What ammo boxes are you using for 100 Rd count.

I'm using the MTM P-100-44 for my 20VT. They work great

I'd like to know what works for you guys

Thanks, Wayne

Heck, I've got MTM, J&G, Berry's, Frankford Arsenal, and others I can't even remember. My 20VT shares two box brands, here's an MTM on the bench during a squirrel shoot, along with a nice CRT Bench Tray, holding the little jems in preparation to give Skippy his flying lessons again:

I've got some of the first plastic boxes for handloaders that started to appear in the late 60's/early 70's that's still goin' strong. Now I wish I was. :lol:

I've got those too. But those are 50's
Looking for 100 capacity
Maybe 50's are all there are

No pics, but I use the MTM RS-100-24 in blue for .223 and gray/black for .204. I like the look and functionality of CRT's tray. Going to have to pop for one soon. I have his small funnel. Excellent craftsmanship!

I have the tray too.
It's a big hit when we shoot. Probably takes a tenth of all groups. :wink:
Those look like a good option

I like the 20 round slip top boxes, I can put them in my pocket when I'm walking around.

The blue frankford arsenal ones for .223

I have to put some foam in the top though, or they spill out if the box tips over.

32dgrz: For my 223's and 204's, I'm using the J&G 100 rnd count boxes, and they seem to last almost forever. Not the best shot of one, but it's on my bench with my Cooper MTV 204:

I see them at gun shows all the time, not sure who carries them on the net though.

A little late getting back here. Had the 24 hour bug for the lat 5 days.
Thanks for the input.
RIO Still can't find the happy place for the Nosler's. Oh well that will leave more for you to set new altitude records with Skippy!

Does a single bullet holder stop the bullets getting damaged in transit. I been reloading and think thats why im getting one or two stray bullets. Might be unseating the bullet a bit because they in a nail box.
