I get my ammo box latches from the post office. When you don't check your mailbox for a while they make you come in and get a bundle of junk mail with special latches.
What I tried to say, if back row is higher ,easier to get them out, by feel.Cartridge needs to extend approx. 3/4" to be able to grasp. Staggering alignment would also help. I would probably make outer case with belt clip for walking
Foam in lid! Like we say about Vaseline...."LONG OR SHORT, THICK OR THIN..VASELINE WILL GET IT IN"Quality cartridge used a similar sleeved box forever and they definitely work.
About the only way to eliminate the rattling though is going to be by forming case specific "slots" or for a small, medium, and large diameter cases.
Would you seriously attach a rigid 20 pack of shells to YOUR BELT? Even if the box was curved I know I wouldn't....never cross my mind.....well unless maybe facing a Zombie hoard.....just thought about it.....NOPE not even then!Cartridge needs to extend approx. 3/4" to be able to grasp.

I have been doing the same thing for years. It's okay but I like where Bmoore is going. The best things are designed by hunters!I get my ammo box latches from the post office.

Well done!I tried to make my own to save money. Okay for a trip to the range.
I think you could offer that as a standard and anything beyond that be a custom. I actually have a cartridge that is .260" longer than SAAMI spec but I'm betting those will be rare. Maybe standardize on .300" longer than SAAMI?That would be a must for sure. You think making them a standard .25" longer than the Saami standards would be sufficient?
This looks like my exact setup!! Only I use red boxes and haven't incorporated the special latch system.I get my ammo box latches from the post office. When you don't check your mailbox for a while they make you come in and get a bundle of junk mail with special latches.View attachment 343220
As you can see I also fold up a paper towel in the lid to protect the tips! When you got some to sell let me know!This looks like my exact setup!! Only I use red boxes and haven't incorporated the special latch system.
Then you can use the paper towel in an emergency instead of your sock!As you can see I also fold up a paper towel in the lid to protect the tips! When you got some to sell let me know!
