6BR ammo box..?

[1Merlin]

It seemed pretty simple until I started looking. Trying to find a good basic hinged plastic ammo box for my 6BR loads. Would prefer 100 capacity box. Whats a good quality inexpensive box (including the model number) and where do you buy it?
Thanks for any help......

MTM 100 rd for 22-250-308, add 1/2” foam in bottom of every sq. hole.
....Your not doing anything else...

MTM does make a 50 rd for BR/ppc ..

For the spacer, I use wood blocks from China they sell on Ebay. Craft blocks. I think they are 5mm.

J&J products makes a perfect 100 round box for the BR.

Look for any box that is listed for a 7.62 x 39 case. Perfect for the BR...

I put the foam in the top of the mtm100. Protects the bullet tips.

Shells fit fine. Has a carry handle.

Thanks for the great info!

Looks like the J&J Products #BR-100
5.375"L x 5.375"W x 2.400"D (Maybe to short with heaviest bullets?)
100@.490" SQ

or the MTM
RS-100 (same size holes as the R100 for my 7-308)
Max. OAL= 2.65"
Will do the trick perfectly.

Or, as Gabe & urbanrifleman says, I can just use the R100 cases I already have and put a filler piece in them as needed...

I switched from the Berry's 409-308 case which is 3 1/8 tall, to the MTM Case Guard Rss50 rifle case which is 2 3/4 tall.

I am using 88 gr bergers and 105 VLD's in my 6BR which both have essentially the same bullet shape and extension from the neck.

With the Berry's cases I used a 1/2 piece of foam over the loaded rounds, with the MTM Case guard I do not have to use foam. I really like the Case Guards better.

I have talked to MTM. just no market for a br box.
drop a 45 GAP case in the bottom of the 308 boxes, that works.

MTM RS-S-50 is perfect for BR/Dasher/Etc
For 100x I have foam in the case lid...

Op didn’t specify what the intended use was for.. so I’ll add - I use MTM 100rd for brass storage only , at the house.
I use these :
from Harbor Freight
APACHE
2800 Weatherproof Protective Case - Medium

for transportation to the matches I attend. No worries of empty brass clanging around , & loaded not vibrating around.

Update... The MTM RS100 will not work as the individual holes are too small to accommodate the 6BR case head. The holes are NOT the same size as the R100 ammo case.

With the mtm R100 you can take the insert out and rotate it 90 degrees and it will raise it quite a bit by design. Makes the amount of what you need to put in the lid much less if any.

I found some boxes, can’t remember the brand, but the empty BR or Dasher cases had just a small amount of neck above the partition which made it difficult to grasp individual cases. That being said, I have totally gone to the Lapua Blue Boxes that the cases come in, with the provided divider, only 50 cases, but they work like a charm and they’re free! (Sort of free)

The Frankford Arsenal #512 works pretty good with all but the longest bullets. And it's a 50 round box.

Thanks for the info. I just ordered 4 of them from Brownells.

National Metallic makes 50 rounders, but not hinged.

but the question was directed at 100 rd boxes for 6br
I think the j and j is the best answer so far
