Austin HunterCardboard Boxes for Standard Magnum and H&H Magnum Cartridges
Does anyone know where to get cardboard boxes for Magnum and H&H size rounds? All I can find are for the smaller centerfire (22-250, 223), short action (308 win), and long actions (30-06)

BaxterBWell, I have been considering getting some made. Actually they are 5-round Kynoch style boxes because I like the 5-round boxes.
I have done the footwork and have a sample of it and it's great. I have been talking with another AR member about possibly doing a special run of these but need to find an outlet to sell them as the minimum amount is 1000 pieces.
I will post pictures later if you or anyone else may be interested in them and see if there are enough people to make it worth placing an order.

Thinking of any 20 cartridges boxes?

Yes, the large rifle size of the plain white box with a 20-round styro insert holds any size up to the 375 H&H's I've used in them. The styro simply expands as you push the larger round into the hole to make for a nice, snug fit. The plain white box is great for labeling/marking. The cardboard outer is large enough to hold cartridges with an OAL of 3.65" or so.

aliveinccAH, you're not some greenie fool who hates plastic are you ? I've found the plastic 20 rounders last much longer than the factory ammo/brass boxes. I even have different colors for different rounds, Just a thought.

Frank MartinezWait till you see the price on shipping for the paper boxes with styro insert. I placed an order and the cost of shipping was close to more than the boxes. I have also switched to the plastic in both flip top and the MTM 50 round carry cases.

ted thornI started with paper many years ago with printed labels that I thought looked great. But in recent years have also moved away from my paper boxes and went plastic
