trash barrels at the gun range are productive............and i prefer the hard plastic trays over the styrofoam when re-using old ammo boxes.

store bought.....i like to color code with mtm brand boxes.

Great idea's deputy.

I like the different colors . I put 38 special in one color , 357 in another , 357 MAX in another and my cowboy 38 in another . I use a magic marker to ID load specs inside lid and use car compound to remove writing if needed . I don't like the slip off lids . I use the 50 round boxes for hot or hunting stuff , the 100 rounders for low pressure stuff like for target , plinking and cowboy loads . This system works great for me .

I hope you have to wait awhile though.

He's too young, anyway! I think I'll go back to what I did years ago. There are 150 .38 Special in this oval tin box. The Union Leader box ought to hold 200, maybe 250?
Thanks, All! Dick

The temp stayed down below 80° all afternoon at the range. Brisk breeze out of the north made it plenty cool! First time in a coon's age! We've got at least four more days forecast to be below 80. Hope this breaks the spell! Spent over two hours shooting my 6" S&W Mod. 28 no dash and my 6" Mod. 10!
