Ammo storage for 4.25”+ cartridge?

MagnumManiac · Jun 5, 2021

G'day all,
Looking for an answer for 2 rounds now that are getting beyond a joke for ammo transportation.
Normally, I hunt with a MTM 20 round flip top belt carrier ammo box in my pack. Have done so for years with 270Bee, 300WM, 338WM & 264WM.
Now my dilemma has reached into 300/340/375Bee and 7STW. None of these fit the 20 round MTM boxes and I have searched to no end fixing a suitable 20 round box with a snap on close function.
I have always had to use rifle butt sleeve ammo carriers for my 338-416 Rigby Improved 45° due to it's stupid long length of 4.25". My 338 Edge rounds got damaged tips on quite a few trips due to their length, trying to avoid this if I can.
Running ABLR bullets and the tips seem fragile in comparison to regular Accubonds.

I would prefer something different as the tips on these other rounds are not solid brass and may get damaged in my pack.

Does anyone have a good solution for this dilemma?

Cheers.

What about some of these companies that make custom foam inserts for ammo cans? Make a 420rnd 556 ammo can into a 50 round box!

Thanks Feenix, that's what I've been looking for but never found.
Will even fit 33XC/37XC and Cheytac....good to know.

Cheers.

I made a 50 round count and 100 round count for my 338-416 Rigby Improved, but they don't have a lid and rattle around something shocking on the way to a hunt or match.

Cheers.

Since its going in your pack, you could look at fishing tackle boxes. They come in all shapes and sizes and you can cut some foam inserts to fit your rounds.

Look at MTM RF22-LM,BUF-10-70, or BMG-10 slip-top. Also look at MTM H50-XL Deluxe comes with bullet protector 50 rd. box with lid. MTMCASE-GARD.com , hope something will fit.

I have the BUFF-10 for my 416 Rigby, my 338-416 Rigby Improved doesn't fit.
I have the H-50 XL and they do not fit.

Feenix has put me into the Unknown Munitiins boxes. When I have the funds, as we are again in LOCKDOWN here. I will order a few of these.
Need to fit a few cases now, 300RUM, 7STW & 338-416/33XC. My 300/340/375 Bee will probably need a new home too.

Cheers.
