Save Those Lapua Plastic Boxes — They Work 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.

I finally found a way to remove the labels from these. Soak the in sauerkraut juice. Works like a charm.
Too bad they only hold 50 pcs of brass instead of 100.
Editor: With loaded rounds, you want some separation between the cartridges, and 100 would make the box heavy to carry. 50 is fine.
too bulky
I’ve always wondered what the inside of the lid was for. Guess I never looked close enough at it to know it comes out. Cool!
Editor, Since the box comes with 100pcs and only holds 50, that is why I made the comment. Thank you.
