Cartridge Boxes - NOT PLASTIC

[Nickjc]

Hi All.

Anyone know of a decent online source for cardboard boxes suitable for pistol and rifle calibers....no dividers necessary ...think of the older mil packed ammo box...

Mainly in the size of...:

.38 / .357
9mm
.45

.308
.30-06
.30-30

I HATE plastic ammo boxes and seems to enjoy cardboard...call me crazy.....

Thanks for any links...!!

Just out of curiosity, why do you hate the plastic boxes?

+1 The cardboard ones with the styrofoam inserts work well.

I don't know about him but they are expensive for general storage. I use plastic ones for the range and cardboard ones for general storage.

I use the Midway boxes; some (or all) are on sale right now:

There are various sizes, the above is for the 9mm size. I like 'em.

I use the plastic inserts for ring binders to label them so I can reuse them and not mess them up with stick-on labels, such as this:

NickJC,

I use 4X4X4 inch boxes from Victory Packaging, for pistol cases I cut the boxes with a paper cutter (sheer), for 30/06 I cut an inch off the top of the box and use for pistol, the bottom of the box I use for rifle, when organized in the box 80 30/06 cases can be stacked in rows of nine, if the box is not cut, the 4X4X4 inch box will hold 100 30/06 cases, I purchase the boxes in bundles of 20, the cost is between .20 and .25 cents each. to trim the boxes a case cutter and straight edge can be used. Victory has offices in most large cities, out West they are know as Golden state.

The take up more room than is necessary and the cost is prohibitive as compared to cardboard.

When I need boxes for my ammo, I just head to my local gun club and check all the waste baskets, as there are usually some folks that just throw them away. LM

Am I reading that right, is that 25 boxes/with styrofoam for $14.95? If so, that's cheap enough. 60 cents each.

You guys are just too fast for me. I have been known to pick up boxes from the local indoor range for that purpose too. Perfect boxes with plastic or syrofoam dividers for all popular calibers at a reasonable price.....free!

Personally, I kind of like the plastic boxes, they label nicely, and can be used many times over again. I get a different color for each caliber so I know at a glance what it is. works for me.
