Does anybody know of any plastic ammo boxes such as MTM, that are large enough for a .577NE 3"? I was looking at 20 gauge boxes but they are only 3" high, and so obviously they are too short. Can anybody help me? Steve | ||

I'm away from home right now so I'll have to dig mine out to tell you what brand they are. They are a tight fit but they do work. I also have a couple of "slip on top" plastic boxes that were given to me by a friend. These were from his 500NE loads from Superior Ammunition Company. They actually work the best. You might contact Superior and ask them what box they use. | |||

Fellas: I don't know about the .577, but the MTM boxes that are advertised for the .600 DON'T work. The rims overlap so the cartridges climb up with every added round. A reap pain so I stagger them and only use 10 rounds per box. For the 8-bore, take a standard 20-round box for the .458 size cartridge and use a 1 inch Forster bit and drill out four compartments and make it one. You now have a nice box for five rounds of 8 bore and also 10, although too small for the big 4-bore.

Steve I take it you held onto the 577 ruger no.1 or is this another gun? | |||

Same gun Karl, I have tried to sell it but nobody seems to want it, and I was not even asking for the gunsmithing costs, let alone with all the bullets, cases and dies thrown in. | |||
