New cardboard Lapua brass boxes

[nakneker]

Is it worth moaning about? Probably not but I miss the old plastic Lapua blue brass boxes and I don’t care for their new cardboard boxes. Just had 3 boxes of Lapua 300 PRC in their new box arrive, yuck.

Peterson brass boxes are nice but ADG and Alpha get the gold star, they offer a nice box with a foam insert. That’s a nice touch, I wish Lapua would follow suit.

Ok, now I’ll shut up.

They were great range boxes.

before the blue boxes were the cardboard boxes and everyone whined when the blue boxes came out. .

i agree with you though nakneker the peterson agd alpha plastic boxes are nice. i sure use them instead of buyiing more mtm. dont know why but i never used the lapua plastic boxs. mabie mtm is paying lapua to make cardboard so people buy mtm boxes. you know the drill follow the $ lol

I have saved my plastic boxs thru the years. I transfer new new cases from the cardboard box into a recycled plastic box. I have a buddy who anneals for me on his AMP. I take the cases to him in the blue plastic box. I sure don't want him digging out and replacing the cases into a MTM type box. At some point I guess the plastic box will wear out....I'll have to find a good plastic box if I live that long

I just re-purposed a blue box & used it as a place to mount switches for a cooling fan in our sxs,
mounted it to the roof with switches in it & works great!

I have not yet purchased brass with the new packaging. Are they at least placed in individual sleeves this time?

Yes, and I absolutely love the new cardboard boxes. They stack so neatly!

How many times have we heard about the label on the blue plastic box. It's so difficult to remove BLA, BLA, BLA. So much whining about a BOX. I like the brass, I can buy an MTM box.

Every Peterson cases I've bought all came with a nice box and foam insert? Have 6 GT, 243, and 6 CM.

Lapua always been the worst IMO. Those blue boxes werent any special either, and they got worse with the cardboard. Funny the gold standard has the absolute worst packaging. Go figure huh lol. Always need to buy an MTM with Lapua either way.

I'm pretty much sticking with Peterson anymore these days. Good brass, good packaging, and a great name.

We are a tough crowd to please. A portion of us dislike every option. I have received a few new boxes and the necks/ case mouths seem to be less messed up. Likely what they were try for. Time will tell.

I much rather have the blue plastic box for further use but the case mouths of those packaged in the cardboard are straighter with no dings that I've seen so far. I guess it's a toss-up for me.

I have been very happy to get .308 and .223 brass and really don’t mind the paper containers. Sure the blue boxes were serviceable, but the brass is what I am after. Whatta Hobby!

Given the expense of making some of the boxes that manufacturers use- one would think more manufacturers would fashion the box to be a great range box for loaded ammo or something - giving added value to the purchase. I haven't seen the ADG or Peterson boxes. Sounds like there may be a few....

I always though the blue boxes sucked, myself.

 

[Dan-Schenk]

I use the blue boxes for brass prep to keep everything organized.

You guys use boxes???? I just throw em in a zip lock and go shoot

MTM boxes are like $5 bucks. you need to buy bullets and powder anyway add one to the cart.

If they gave you gold bricks, some of you would complain they were too heavy.
