The berry boxes came and looks like they will do the job nicely. There is about 1/4" less height on the bottom tray compared to the MTM. Thank you for the suggestion!

I use the plastic inserts that comes in some manufactures 50 round 9mm ammo boxes that most people discard in the refuse barrels at shooting ranges. the trays I find very well suited for 223/300 loading come in federal ammo boxes IIRC.

That sounds like a good idea if the plastic insert has solid plastic dividers in them. Seems like the 9mm boxes I've kept have foam with holes cut in it for the rounds. I'll have to dig through some of the empty boxes I have stored up high to see if they have plastic dividers.

I picked up some from Mid South Shooters awhile back, 100 round and 50 rnd boxes. The 50 is marked .17Rem/.223 and is #405. The 100 rnd box is marked 005-Red, both have a base depth 0f 1.240. The 300 BLK cases are much easier to grab, appear to be a Berry's product. These were purchased from a gun show as I recall now. Most def the ticket for our BLK loads :D
