A Look at the MTM 9mm Ammo Box:

The MTM Ammo Box is one of the best storage solutions for your 9mm ammo. Whether you reload, purchase loose ammo, or simply want a more compact storage solution, the MTM 9mm Ammo Box is the way to go.

So why did I purchase twenty MTM 9mm Ammo Boxes? Well, not too long ago I purchased 1000 rounds of 9mm Blazer ammo. Although Blazer ammo is great, the fifty round boxes they ship in are not so great due to their unnecessarily large size. For reference take a look at the image below.

When it comes to storing ammo I’m partial to ammo cans, and since every inch of space matters it’s important to have boxes that’re ergonomic and space efficient. While Blazer boxes are cumbersome for long term storage, I found the MTM 9mm boxes to be an ideal solution. Let’s get into the specific reasons why I like these boxes so much.

Compact:

In theory cardboard boxes should be smaller and more compact than polymer boxes. Be that as it may, this isn’t the case when you compare the MTM 9mm ammo box to most 9mm ammo manufacturer boxes. Because the MTM box is so compact it’s perfect for storing in your ammo can or taking on-the-go in your range bag.

Durable/Reusable:

You can add the crush resistant polymer construction to the list of reason why the MTM ammo box is an upgrade over ammo manufacturer boxes. Since cardboard is susceptible to being crushed it’s nice to have some reassurance that the MTM ammo box will actually protect your ammo. Because these boxes are so durable you’ll have them and reuse them for a lifetime, unless of course you’re running them over with your truck or something.    

Stackable:

When stacked cardboard tends to slip and slide, but not these MTM ammo boxes. They’re ergonomically designed with feet on the bottom that interlock with the tops when stacked on each other. These boxes have saved me from the unorganized mess that I’ve experienced after moving my ammo can around in the past. Although it’s a small detail I’ve really come to appreciate the stackability of these boxes.

Inexpensive:

I’d have to say that at $2 per box these things are a tremendous bargain. They provide me with so much value that it’s a no brainer whether or not I’d purchase them again. I bought twenty MTM 9mm boxes to accommodate the 1000 rounds of blazer ammo that I purchased, and the amount of space that I reclaimed in my ammo can was incredible. If you’re looking for an inexpensive way to save space or protect your ammo, the MTM 9mm ammo box is a perfect solution.

Additional Noteworthy Perks:

1. Made in the USA
2. Labels Included with each box
3. Transparent Lid
4. Snap Lock Latch 25 Year Guarantee
5. Removable Lid (Nests together with bottom portion of the ammo box)

Final Thoughts:

If you’re in search of a compact way to organize and store your 9mm ammo, then I highly recommend the MTM 9mm Ammo box. If someone told me about these boxes when I began my search it would’ve saved me a lot of time. These boxes aren’t JUST the best value for the price, they’re actually among the best options for 9mm ammo storage in general.

Mr. Vetter, OUT!

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.
