Guys,
I am coming over to the US in a few weeks and plan on ordering goodies from Midsouth and I will also be visiting a Cabelas in PA.
I know Frankfort make specific boxes for this round but neither of the aformentioned dealers stock them.
Have any of you bought boxes from either that will work with this round?
I really would like boxes that the rounds actually fit properly rather than fit in a `make do` fashion!
I am not certain if any of the boxes that take 6 x 47 would be correct.
Cheers,
Tony

Go to Cabelas first, grab a 7.62x39 round from display and try a couple boxes.

I can attest that the 'Russian' is loose and sloppy in this box:

$2.40 for either and they both work for 7.62x39

If you plan on going to Cabelas, bring a 10 foot step ladder with ya so you can get in the door/place :coffeecom

Thanks for the replies guys.
I did look at the Midsouth ones and wondered if they would be ok.
Good idea on the round testing at Cabelas.
Its just too easy to end up with a load of things that seemed like a good idea at the time!
The weight limit on international flights has halved as well recently.......bummer!
