Hey Fellas and Gals....
Been out of commission for a while but...
IM BACK!!!!
I ordered some cardboard ammo storage boxes from a place I never herd of...
REPACKBOX.COM
I am as happy with this product as I am with Jake at RMR reloading and Hanks belts.
So I ordered some 5.56, 7.62x39, 9mm, 10mm, 40cal, and a few other boxes. They are white with the caliber printed on top with a place for load data. They come with folding instructions the back of the instructions is a sheet of blank lables with the avery label number and instructions to print out once you fill out load data.
Also the boxes are designed to fill an ammo can with instructions how to pack the can.
Also came with 2 pairs of cotton gloves.
Have been using the plastic boxes and will continue for load development ect... but my tried and true bulk reloads these are the best.
Also making your own custom printed labels is fun. My lable reads........

Then my load data..
Oh yeah I guess they over charged me for shipping without asking in the box was a check for $10.00.
At first glance I thought lil pricey but now that I'm using very very fair price and has added a fun personal touch to my hobby.
Take a look see what you think.
 
On thing I really like is the 223 /556 boxes hold 30 rounds and the 7.62 nato boxes hold 20 rounds , that matches most mags
One box equals one mag

I think that if I am looking at their prices right, the trays that go into the box are sold seperatley and are $5.00 a tray. If thats the case, not a chance.

The tray is just used to make the bundle and load the ammo into the box - then you remove the tray and reuse it for the next box.
 
Looks like the loading trays that you use to repack shotshell boxes. These are taking less space than the boxes with the foam inserts. I gave up on those due to being too bulky in an ammo can. These look like they might be an alternative to the ZipLoc bags I now use.
 
I have the boxes and packer for 30-06. Very nice, keeps things nice and neat, inexpensive, easy to use. If I get around to loading 223 next year I will order the boxes for it.
 
I have been using them a while myself. Also they are acid free so no danger of brass corrosion. I have been filling up my 9mm reserves lately. I give them a quick tumble to remove finger residue, then box them using the gloves and vac bag 2 boxes together at a time. I have found I need to use the "gentle" setting to prevent crushing the box.
 
The boxes look great for storage. Very space efficient way to pack.
I've considered getting some for 9mm. I would if I loaded a year's worth of ammo at a time.

I'm not a high volume shooter so I don't store multiple thousands of rounds of reloads. I currently use the 100 round plastic Cabela's flip top boxes. 100 individual cells to hold the rounds from rolling around inside. I can get 9 of these boxes into a 50 cal ammo box, then reload more as I shoot through them.
 
I saved the website just in case but I am rather heavily invested in the box and tray arrangement from Midway. Most calibers stack very nicely in a Cabela's ammo box. The only boxes that seem to be overly large are the .223/Blackout so those would be the first I would change out.

Then your username is well stated. You might want to start looking ahead, however.

I enjoy reloading as a hobby. If I reload everything in a few days, I won't have anything else to do but shoot it all year! Can't have that!

I have plenty of components for planning ahead: primers, powders, bullets, casting lead, etc. It is easier barter or sell components than reloaded ammo. Who wants to shoot somebody else's reloads? I certainly don't want to. So I only reload what I can shoot in a reasonable time period.

I like this. Are the repack boxes sturdy? How many times can they be reused?

These are constructed very similar to most factory ammo boxes.
Not extremely robust, but they can be opened and closed several times if not abused.
Just like factory boxes, a little bit of tape can strengthen the areas that start to fail.
 
These look like a great option to store reloads. I usually try to save my factory boxes and have been known to raid the trash cans at the range for discarded ones. I did buy some of the ones that Midway sells with the Styrofoam dividers, they work pretty good but little pieces of the Styrofoam keep flaking off and stick to everything. For labels I make a template using Excel with all my reload info then use a 2" piece of clear packaging tape to put it on each box. It's a lot less expensive than buying the labels and I can put the info I want on them.
 
Looks good. Nice "clean", new boxes for handloads, especially with caliber printed on box. I made some of my own; I carefully unfolded a factory box and used it as a pattern (9mm and 45 ACP). Cut some heavy paper, poster board, and folded them into a box. OK when I am bored with nuttin' to do, but I'd rather purchase some good boxes!
 
Those boxes are great...however I'd loose my mind packing 3k worth of ammo. Everything drops into a 50 cal ammo can, way easier for me.

Same here. I shoot my own at the range and hunting grounds and save the many thousands of rounds of mil-surp I bought decades ago for whatever 'pocalypse decides to come to my sleepy little village. Odds are it will all be over before I run out of belt ammo so, what's the sense in worrying about reloading more than a few thousand rounds plus the mil-surp, plus my stock of regular boxed commercial factory ammo...etc.? If I really, really, need a green and yellow box of .35Remington 150gr. SPCL, I have a few or dozen locked away; I don't need to whip out the Midway catalog. ;)

I reload for my guns, not anybody else's and the box labels say so. I use a Dymo label printer loaded with shipping labels. This system looks like it would work for my purposes just fine for semi-auto where I won't necessarily get my empties back in the box - a bag works fine or a bucket - but for revolvers I like to bring home empties. For things like, ".32-20 for Colt's Official Police," versus .".32-20 for S&W 1905 4th Change" then the load data and details. Some loads - like .38Spl wadcutters and round nose - are for any gun in that caliber but some are custom for only one gun and the labels say so. I load for a Webley Mk.1 that's been cut back for .45ACP/AR. It's a black-powder era revolver and needs black-powder pressures, a hollow-base .455 diameter bullet in a .45AR or ACP case with moon-clips... You won't find that on a shelf anywhere except in my gun room. :)
