Small Ammo Boxes

[Remington1911]

I was looking at the 10mm thread and one person posted up a photo of his testing data. From the looks of it he loads a bit like I do. Make up 5 with this recipe run it over the chrono and see whats what.

What I have always done in the past is get one of the "normal" ammo boxes that hold 50 lets say, and put the little bit of paper that has just what that is fished next to it. I have also put little dots from garage sales and another dot in my book with what formula that color is.

I have never been really happy with any method I have come up with.

One of the other hobbies I have is 3d printing....being ADHD does have advantages at times.....and I thought one day...hay dummy just make your own ammo box....so I started. This box below is not finished, but the only one I can get to at work.

So if you are into the 3D printing thing you might think along these lines. I have been playing with the silly printers for years now and just last week it hit me....hay you can make reloading stuff.

Holders for the case holder....done, a little bracket for the de cap die, done. New funnel, the list goes on and on.

I’ve even seen AR lowers printed. They say they’re good for at least 1,000 rounds although I haven’t tried it.

But ammo boxes and stuff like that is an excellent idea.

You can print using about any material, from concrete to wood to carbon fiber. I think that technology is going to change things.

Where is the fun in that. With this you design just what you want. It does look cool however, perhaps I will build one of those next.

I have 100 other things to 3dprint already But the layout of those where they flip open like a wallet instead of the two piece ammo box style is nice, if I were to 3dprint some I'd go with that style.

I think I am going to give it a try for the next one.
