Thanks, I had looked on the MTM site and their guide had nothing for a 6.5 Grendel.

Look for boxes that fit 7.62X39 or 22 PPC. I use Frankfort 512 also, I've bought several from Whitaker's for $2.50 each.

Grendel is listed down a few pages with the other 6.5s http://www.mtmcase-gard.com/common/2017%...0Chart.pdf

The standard MTM RS-50's for .223 also work.

Load them in upside down and the internal plastic frame supports the case on the shoulders (bullet is suspended and does not touch the case). It's a snug fit so they don't rattle around. Most compact way to store this calibre in MTM's range.

Frankford #1009 works for .223, 6.5G, and .308, holds 100 rounds. Case-Gard RSS-50 and RSS-100 Rifle work well also for 6.5G.

I see alot of people listing 30-30 or 308 boxes.... arent these a lil too tall for the 6.5 Grendel?
Is there not better boxes to fit the 6.5G without having to add foam?

See earlier post...The standard MTM RS-50 for 223 works. It's a close fit so you can use them with, or without a thin piece of foam or cardboard. They certainly don't rattle around like the bigger boxes.

The internal frame supports the rounds by the shoulder so the tips never touch the bottom.

I used the Plano #122850 cartridge boxes for my 6.5 Grendel rounds.

I thought I had posted on this. I recycle the Hornady factory ammo boxes. Can't get much more compact than that, and they are free with purchase of 20 rounds.

I got a 5 pack of the Caldwell 7.62x39 50 round ammo boxes for about 20 dollars with shipping at budsgunshop.

I bought a case of Hornady Black last week and will go that route if needed but, I usually store 500 (or more) rounds of reloads in all my calibers so I was looking for better options.
I think I will order the Frankford Arsenal 512 boxes.

Yea, I asked about these same boxes fitting 6.5G on that Amazon page earlier.....
Some say they are loose fitting, I think I will go with FA 512s instead.

I like the quality of the MTM though, it feels pretty solid if it were to be dropped.
