Default Looking for 50 round, bullet up, hinge top plastic boxes for 218 Bee

It looks like the RCBS medium pistol may be what I am looking for. Has anyone tried them for 218 Bee, 32-20, 25-20? Nothing I have here with hinged top will allow them to sit flat with bullet up.

Default This may work....

You might want to try the Berry's Bullets No. 505 box. I use it for the 221FB and 20VT, as this model does have the hinged top with bullets up.

All the other boxes I tried are too deep for this case, and it's nary impossible to get a fired case out of the box unless you turn it upside down to shake the brass out.





And the fact that the lid lays flat when open makes it ideal....for me.

Frankford 504 50rd should work.

That is one I have some of and the 218 won’t sit flat in them with bullet up. I sure wish it did, I bought a mess of them when they were deeply discounted.

These are J&J boxes, maybe for 30 carbine? I can't remember, but they're shorter than 223 boxes. I think they make 50-round versions too. At one point winchester was using them for factory loaded 22 Hornet ammo.

Default Mtm r-50

I use the MTM R50 hornet boxes - work well for bee, hornet and 30 carbine.

I was using the 504's but ended up getting boxes from J&J and they ended up being exactly I was looking for. Perfect for storing my .218 Mashburn Bee ammo bullet up.
