FjoldSource for factory type boxes for 375 H&H?
Some airlines specify factory packaging for ammunition.
Does anyone know of a source for paper/fiberboard blank boxes for 375 H&H?

J DAny production plastic ammo case that keeps each round in it's own slot will work.

Rick RMidway carries white cardboard boxes with styrofoam inserts. I usually use the cardboard box with one of the plastic slip top boxes inside.
Glue your own label on the outside to seal it shut and ammo seems to stay pristine a long time.

BNagelMe. How many do you want, Frank? They're factory original but I kept them in case of need.

Rick,
Midway doesn't sell them in 375 H&H size.
Barrie,
Just a couple, I'll PM you.

Meaning the box must say Remington if it is Remington brand ammo etc?
I ask because I have a project on the back burner to make flat 5-pack ammo boxes with custom desigined labels. I have a sample, it is the same material as the current Kynoch boxes, although mine have no wasted space like the Kynochs so are a little smaller. Similar to what RickR does but in a 5-pack style.
Would something like that pass Air France rules?

My Nosler Custom Loaded ammunition comes in a 20 count plastic box... And I've not seen any Nosler loaded ammo in anything but plastic boxes.

FjoldI'm a belt and suspenders type guy when I'm dealing with regulations administered by people who don't give a crap about you (which covers most businesses and all poiticians).
I just don't want anyone to get an easy shot at ruining my trip, I make them work at it.
Thanks to BNagel who volunteered to send a couple of empty boxes to me, for free.
Barry's a great guy.
