Blue Lapua Brass Boxes Do Double-Duty As Ammo Carriers
Since 2010, Lapua has shipped its quality cartridge brass in sturdy blue plastic boxes. Here’s a handy tip for you — don’t toss the plastic boxes when you load up your brass! These are double-duty containers. If you’re not familiar with “Blue Box” Lapua brass, you may not realize that the boxes are designed to serve as 50-round carriers for your loaded ammo and fired cases. (Yes we know some folks who’ve been tossing out their blue boxes without knowing how the boxes work as caddies.)
Snapped in place under the box lid is a rectangular plastic grid that fits in the bottom of the box. Pop the grid loose and slide it into the box with the smooth side facing up. Side supports molded into the lower section hold the grid in place.
Voilà, instant Ammo Box! Each grid contains holes for fifty (50) loaded rounds or empty cases. The convertible plastic container/ammo box is a great idea that Lapua executed very nicely. Now you have even more motivation to purchase your cartridge brass from Lapua.
USER TIPS: When transporting ammo you may want to put some foam over the loaded rounds. That will protect the bullet tips. Also, with shorter cartridges, this will help keep your loaded ammo and fired cases from moving around. You can also tape the FREE Redding Ammo Box Labels on the underside of the lids to list your load information.

didnt know!
I just threw a bunch away because I didn’t know.
Thanks for the tip.
You MUST secure the divider in place.
A few drops of superglue will work, or your glue preference.
I hope this note will save a few shooters the problem of opening the case to find all 50 loads loose in the box.

but it’s big box; I have 223rem and this lapua box for 50 pcs is as big as others for 100…
I wonder why Lapua does not give instructions for this. I had no idea the piece come off of the lid.
