After purchasing 1000 rounds of loose XM855 ammo I went on the hunt for an organized way to store it. The Caldwell Ammo Box is among the best solutions that I found for storing rifle ammo including: 223, 556, and 204.
So, why is the Caldwell Ammo Box an awesome storage solutions for your rifle ammo? Let’s get into it.
Portability:
To start, Caldwell Ammo Boxes contain slots that are tightly indexed. As a result you’re able to store 50 rounds in each box efficiently.
Because Caldwell Ammo Boxes are so compact, they’re perfect for long-term storage and/or trips to the range. In addition, these ammo boxes feature removable lids that unhinge and nests with the bottom cavity. You’ll find this particularly useful when you’re storing empty ammo boxes after a trip to the range.
Durability:
Since ammo is typically packed in cardboard, it’s susceptible to harsh conditions and the possibility of being crushed. On the contrary, Caldwell Ammo Boxes are constructed with a high density polymer, so they’re extremely tough and provide great protection. Whether you’re traveling or storing ammo, you can rest assured knowing that your ammo is well-protected.
Stackability:
If you own an ammo can then you know the feeling of playing Tetris with your ammo, right? Well, the Caldwell Ammo Box makes stacking ammo a breeze. There are feet on the bottom of the ammo boxes that engage with grooves on the lid. This allows the ammo boxes to interlock, which prevents them from sliding around your ammo can the way cardboard tends to.
Transparency:
Not only are the lids ergonomically designed to stack, but they’re also transparent. This transparency allows you to quickly gauge how much ammo you have left in your box, which you’ll find really useful.
In a pinch, this could save you some precious time.
Dimensions & Weight:
Dry Weight: 3.5 oz
Full Weight: 1lb 8.7oz (50 rounds of XM855)
Price:
Caldwell Ammo Boxes are sold as a five pack on Amazon for $10.99. You’re paying about $2.20/box, which is a great deal for what you’re getting. Considering you’re purchasing boxes that will last a lifetime (unless you’re really abusing them), I don’t think you can go wrong here.
Compatibility:
Although I don’t own the Caldwell AR Mag Charger, it’s worth mentioning that these boxes are designed to work seamlessly with their mag loader. If you own a Caldwell AR Mag Charger, please feel free to comment below sharing your thoughts on it.
