Do you still box?

    I boxed up every reload I made. Then along came progressive loaders and the boxing only seemed important for shoot shells, or special shells like hunting loads. Now it is ziplock bags and buckets. Do you still box shells or are you a bag/bucket person?

    I like the nice plastic boxes for my reloads for a couple reasons. I feel like they protect my ammo better, they count my ammo for me, they are re-usable (buy once cry once), and they dont hold moisture like the cardboard boxes do, makes it easier to regulate humidity in the storage crate. I really like MTM, they have real hinges and are USA made.

    I box. And use a pouch that holds a box and 100+ empties.

    Box, bag and bucket. I like trap shells in a box for easier counting on the range but 20, 28 and .410s just go into a bucket. I can easily grab a bunch for my pouch for skeet.

    Yep. Just always have. Load them into full cases(500) also for storage and transport. Used to have a chief boxer and shell counter, but darn it he grew up and left for college.

    Always box mine up in Remington boxes. They fold flat and don't take up much space on a shelf.

    I box mine, mainly so I can tell how many I have shot on each stand. I'm too stupid to remember how many I've shot if I just dump them all in a pouch. Oh well! :confused:

    I use the plastic boxes that has a removable lid. Then they fit right in my pouch. The only drawback is sometimes the lid pops off in your range bag and you have shells everywhere. I put a pice of masking tape on them before I leave the house now.
