Ammo box's for 6mm BR

I used the MTM box marked specifically for the 17 Hornady Hornet. Ten different loads, five rounds each, different powders and different amounts, all labeled for 'load work up'. The box was to tall, the bullets fell out of their holes and got mixed. All the same length, all the same bullets, no bullet puller collet. I knew I was safely under the max so I shot them at gophers, all were "minute of gopher", but I didn't know which were the tightest shooters. I resized the brass, primed, back in the MTM box. I cut a piece of foam rubber to fit in the top of the box to hold the brass in place. When the time came to start reloading, the brass was corroded on the base around the primer, get out the tumbler and the walnut media. It cleaned up OK. Now card board is in the top of the boxes, everything is loaded ready for warm weather and the range. But, I'm still were I was a year ago, and I still need 17 Hornet brass.
 
Another good box that hasn't been mentioned is Berry's. I have been using Berry's for my smaller cartridges for awhile, also use MTM for small stuff and used them when I shot short range BR for both 6BR and 30BR. If you are loading for long range the 22-250 box might be required. I really like the newer boxes, regardless of brand, that have actual hinged tops.
 
I use the rss 50 for 6br. I put foam in the top of the box. I load at the house and seat bullets at the range or match. Knock on wood, I haven't spilt a single kernel of powder. You just have to watch which foam you use. Some types of foam the powder sticks to.
You should seat them longer and then reseat at the range
