Ideas for carrying rifle loads to the range beside those plastic cartridge boxes?

[MDphotographer]

I shoot mostly .30 carbine and .223 for an AR no real load development needed but I carrly my ammo to the range in a pair of old WW! grenade vests that i had webbing sown to to form an H harness and a bag sown to the belt between the two vests in back for a range bag.East vest has 11 pockets and each pocket will hold 4 10rnd stripper clips of .223,5 10rnd stripper clips of .30 carbine or 3 15rnd carbine mags.I slip into the harness at the range and leaves my hands free for carrying rifles spotting scope etc etc

Everybody uses cool whip on apple pie I just use a lot of it my ammo goes in the cool whip containers.

If it is bulk ammo for blasting I go for the smaller 30 cal ammo cans



For my hand loads I use the little plastic flip boxes. If I order something I pad it out with a bunch of those, especially if they are on sale. I need to toss some baggies in the range bag for brass though.

I use the 50 and 100 round mtm boxes with the new hinge design. I have close to 120 ammo boxes... all full of something.

part 2.... a long time ago I was doing load development and dropped a cheap ammo box on the line and all my loads(5 different) scattered every where.

Never found anything that works as well as an MTM box. One caveat, it MUST MUST MUST have a real hinge. I'd rather have cartridges loose in my pocket than use a living hinge box ever again.

I buy them like some guys buy AR magazines. When at the store, buy one or two. Midway or brownells order, buy one or two. They don't add any cost to the order, but after a year I have enough to hold a couple thousand rounds.

They stack nicely on a shelf too, and segregate hunting ammo from range ammo, from bullet A from boolit B, C, and D....

I load by the hundred or couple hundreds though. If I loaded by the thousand or thousands, I'd probably use 50 cal cans and ziplocks too.

I still have some of the older live hinge type boxes. so far they are still holding up. but I do love the new boxes with the real hinge. it opens... and stays open.

I have purchased quite a few of the Berrys bullet boxes, they aren't hinged like the MTM however they are holding up very well & pretty cheap, free shipping with $75 or more. They have a lifetime guarantee, not sure how to make a claim.

the shipping costs more than the box you send back
