223 ammo boxes

Lilswede1 · January 13, 2013, 07:58 PM

I need about 15 ea. 100 rd boxes and 20 ea. 50 rd. boxes for .223.
I load Blitzking bullets so overall length is 2.30" which is too long for some boxes.
Any suggestions?

Just dropped in a .223 into my .308 box and took a pic. If all else fails at least this will work.

I use the MCN 100 round 223 boxes. I load the 80 gr SMK longer than mag length for long range (600 yard) for use in my service rifle. These are loaded one at a time in the rifle through the ejection port. The bullets are seated some place around .010 to .015 off the lands. If your loading longer than these, something is up.
