I have a dumb question. Will the following boxes work OK to house .350RM rounds, base down?:

None of the boxes I have will accept the belt/rim of a magnum round inserted base first.
Thanks,
MJ

I had the same problem with my 45-70 cases, gave up and stored them base-up in an MTM box. Email Midway or MTM with your rim diameter.

MJ, just measured a .300 WSM, .555" at the base. Hornady manual says 7 Rem. Mag. is .532". When in doubt I order one box on the next order, and go back for more later if all is well.
MTM provides charts indicating which cartridges fit each box and whether they fit nose down or base down.

Midway has a less detailed chart for the Franford Arsenal boxes.

Thanks guys,
I just placed an order for .350 dies and brass and it never occurred to me to check my ammo boxes, now I have to devise a minimum order. I should probably get a new loading guide since the ones I have are disintegrating. I had to blink a couple times to see if the boolit mold prices are real... they've skyrocketed!

I have some of the Berry's 50 round boxes for 45-70, base down with some room to spare. They make ones for "300 Ultra" and "WSM" too, might be worth checking out.
