357 Max Ammo Boxes

[Mr_Sheesh]

Hey, another question. As usual!

For .357 Maximum Ammo Storage Boxes, I am looking around at the "usual suspects", MTM and so on, and not seeing any 50-round or 100-round storage boxes for loaded rounds.

Does anyone know of any of these? Worst case I guess I can 3d print something eventually... Thanks!

When I still loaded .357 Max. I used MTM RS-50 boxes. The box says 17 Rem., .222 Rem. & Mag. .223 Rem. 6-47. I was loading 158 gr. XTPs.

[Mr_Sheesh]

That should do me then. The down side is that when the critters here knock the box over, the rounds will probably fall out of the slots and be a total mess - That's why I was wondering if there was something better. Maybe I'll get some foam out and block them in place somewhat. Thanks!

[bosterr]

I've used thin packing foam to take up space in this type of box and it eliminates rattling of the rounds. You're welcome!

This is what i used too

Yes, that's about what I was thinking of. I know if you need to cut foam you have about 2 choices, either an electric carving knife (and freezing the foam helps a LOT) or you can use a hot wire to carve it. (I've used both) but I have a laser cutter / engraver (at a friends' as he can set it up) and that would do it too. But I may just buy the right thickness of foam to do the job in the first place Going to use it for varminting so a Keith or Truncated Cone bullet probably will be the boolit of choice; PCed probably. Should ruin a Coyote's week. If I don't have the 7-30 Waters barrel on, then that'll do it instead

I just checked my boxes. They are the MTM RS-50.

I did a search for 357 maximum ammo cases on the main online auction site and found a couple of listings. None of them are mine since I have never loaded that cartridge.
They are kind of expensive though. Near $14 a pop.

[Mr_Sheesh]

I imagine the RS-100s will work as well - Or other makers' equivalent. Thanks all!

tazman - Thanks - Yes that's a bit much. Contender fodder so just a few will do but on my budget I'll take the cheaper boxes Thanks though! Good to know in case I need other options.

Mine are in a MTM 50. It lists 45-70 on the cover.

Love that cartridge. For varmints with the Max..look for some Remington 150 gr spire points for the 35 Remington. I find them regularly at gun shows. They were made for use in the old 141 pumps. They also made a 200 gr spire point. I also find them occasionally. And your only good box is going to need foam.

I am pretty sure that 357 Max will not fall out of the MTM ammo box for 223 if turned upside down or sideways. That’s what I use also.

I use this with 200 grain cast LBT or RCBS, Also 180 jwords. Works great. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/15...ington-plastic

[Mr_Sheesh]

35isit, that's the RS-50 and RS-100 boxes mentioned above, good that it works

I use a J&J Ammo Box (PN 22-100) for 22 Hornet.
They say they are for 22 Hornet, 30 Carbine, 357 Max

[jmorris]

I use the RS-100, even empty cases can’t fall from position. 357 max empty is only ~.150” shorter than a .223 case and .223 rim diameter is about the same as 357 max case diameter.

[Mr_Sheesh]

Sounds like I have a good answer then - Thanks to all of you

I also use the ammo box for the .223Rem as a box for the Max. Also use a box labeled for a 30-30 Win. The fit loose and need some foam on top to hold them in place, but it works
