plastic ammo box? - Randy99CL - 02-11-2018
I bought a couple of the Plano 122850s and they look good and work well.
I'm ordering this 5-Pack: https://www.midwayusa.com/product/830621/caldwell-ak-mag-charger-flip-top-ammo-box-762x39mm-50-round-plastic-black-and-smoke-5-pack
Only $2.40 each.
I like those with translucent tops and real hinges.

Klem, thanks for the info. I kinda like the idea of shoulder hold and storing projectile down. I'm gonna give that box a try.

I bought that same kit from Amazon earlier in my quest. You'll get 4/5 rows full perfect, the 5th row they don't allow you to close the lid. The rounds don't fit in head first. And as such, as long as you're ok with 40/box you've got a good deal. I don't mind particularly the empty row, that's 200 rounds stored cleanly in 5 boxes for about 10 bucks. I usually take three boxes and have more than enough with me to get my fix.
Just throwin in my experience.

Thanks for the info! I wondered what the problem might be so checked the COAL of 7.62x39 and see that they're shorter. I'll get some others.

So I got my Frankford Arsenal 512 and the MTM RS5016T ammo boxes yesterday.
I am not too impressed with either one but, I will tell you;I would not recommend the FA 512 for 6.5 Grendel like all the other people say too.
Its too big, too loose, and wider and taller than the MTM boxes.
I got 3030 rounds in upside down in the FA 512 and the lid closes tight.
The hinge sucks as well on the FA 512.
Both will require foam in the lids to get the rounds not too rattle, the FA 512 will require more.
I know I am nitpicking but, that is my Army OCD kicking in and I hate my crap rattling in my pack when i am on the move.

So if the FA , Caldwell, doesn’t fit well, is MTM the only good option?
Looking for something that will hold 100 rounds with a handle on it.

Why a handle? Thought that was what the range bag was for? >
