Ammo box for .224 valkyrie

[TheDomFather]

Folks,
Any idea what Ammo box would fit the .224 Valkyrie round well? I usually use MTM case guard boxes but cannot find anything specifically made for .224 Valkyrie. I am getting ready to begin reloading, dies are here, brass is here, bullets are here, upper should arrive Wednesday of this week.
Thanks,
Dom

Same box as 6.8spc. I had .308 boxes handy and my 6.8 is in those. They moved around vertically until I shoved wads of newspaper down the slots.

Three fifty seven ammunition cases would work. Relatively the same cartridge length and head diameter is shared between them. I am sure anything twenty two Nosler would work, at a higher premium.

What brand dies did you pick up, @TheDomFather? I prefer Hornady, but I can not locate any.

224V is based on the 6.8spc case. In looking at the MTM website, it looks like the RS-S-50 case would work (6.8 Rem is listed for it).

Where's the fun in finding the right one?

I use ammo boxes for a .308, but it' hard to get your fingers on fired cases due to the length.

I don't have a 224V case to go by, but I did find a 6.8spc in my box of misc brass. I tried it in my 223 MTM boxes, and it would fit NOSE DOWN, but not nose up. Hope this helps.

That doesn’t work out well for a full box as the case heads hit each other. Last time I tried it I think I got about 2/3 capacity at best. May be better with different cases which may have thicker dividers, but the blue or gray MTM .223 boxes are not a good option.

Tried it with 6.8, but with such similar case dimensions I wouldn’t expect different results with the valkyrie

LOL. I only had the one 6.8spc case to try. I would have thought it would work, since the case head did go down into the holes, it just wouldn't go all the way to the bottom. I guess I will find out eventually, I'm kinda getting the 224V itch.

Here is a couple of MTM boxes that list fitting 6.8 SPC and will also fit 224 V.
