Unfortunately there does not appear to be any such thing as a standard size ammo box. Every brand seems to be using a different size box. As such the ammo boxes do not fit nicely into my range bags. With the Sig 50 rd ammo boxes the most that would fit into my range bag was 300 rds. Besides actual ammo, I also carry a box of dummy rounds and another box with shell cases with primers for testing purposes.
I wanted a better way to store ammo in my range bag. I found these polypropylene ammo boxes made by MTM for .380 & 9x19 mm cartridges in 50 rd, 100 rd and 200 round boxes. I can store 500 rounds in these ammo boxes inside my range bag, which is a 200 round improvement over the factory cardboard boxes, and they make my range bag flatter.
Nowhere online could I find the correct dimensions, so I had to check them out in the store to see how well they would fit into my range bag.
The 50 rd box measures: 4-13/16" wide, 2-15/16" Deep, and 1-7/16" Thick"
$2.99 Sportsman's Warehouse
The 100 rd box measures: 4-13/16" wide, 5-1/4" deep, and 1-7/16" Thick" $4.99
$4.99 Sportsman's Warehouse
The 200 rd box measures: 9-5/16" wide, 5-1/4" deep, and 1-7/16" Thick"
$7.49 Sportsman's Warehouse
The boxes have real pivoting hinges instead of a cheap plastic flap that eventually breaks.
Two 100 round boxes next to each other take up about 0.3" more room than one 200 rd box. The 200 round boxes will fit into my range bag just a bit better. I think that I will buy another 200 rd box and relegate the 100 rd boxes to ammo storage on the shelf.
I'm a bit on the obsessive compulsive side and the way that these boxes fit into my range bag gives me the warm fuzzies.
I should probably add a desiccant pack or two to every ammo box.
