I ordered this mostly as a filler item, though I did want another ammo box. I was expecting a standard cheap ammo box like you can buy at other retailers, but I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box and found this. It seems to be made of heftier material. I am very happy with the purchase!

Have so far bought 28 of these. I use them for 82 grain .223 long range (600 yd)ammo, currently seated to 2.395 in, as well as for normal length 73 grain .223 short range (200 & 300 yd) ammo for local, state, and national matches. They do the job. Only problem is that the plastic hinges are weak. I already have 2 out of the 28 with partially torn plastic hinges. 13 of the 28 have been to the National Matches in Camp Perry, OH and back to CA.

So far it looks good. It seems to take an ammo mess I had and keeps it organized. Have to take it out shooting to be sure.

The simple construction of a pull off top that normally when down has good overlap seems to tell me that this could last a long time.

The box looks good, the hinge appears to be strong. It should last many years of opening and closing. It is a well made box, which will protect your loaded ammo very well. I have several and am well pleased with the product. The price cannot be beat at Optics Planet, I am happy with the good items that I get from Optics Planet. Thanks for the good prices and service.

I like that I can see through these, unlike some other ammo boxes. Also these are great for when you buy your ammo in bulk!

Can't beat them for the money. I have used other boxes that cost more and they don't work any better than these. Great customer service also.

Pros:  Easy to use
Cons:  None, except that I would prefer a transparent box
Would recommend:  yes

A minor preference would be a more transparent box so that I could see the rounds inside--not easy with this box. Otherwise no complaints, and even that isn't really a complaint, just a personal preference.

Pros:  Simple to use
Cons:  None, really, though I would like more transparent plastic
Would recommend:  yes

Works fine. Like most plastic flip-top boxes, if you drop it on the floor it may pop open and spill. I somewhat prefer transparent plastic boxes and would like these more if I could see the rounds inside, but that's a matter of personal preference, not a product flaw.
