I'll look when I get home tomorrow and see what my back stock is currently...
Edit: Do you need any RGL hulls? |

Buying hulls in bulk caused a storage problem, for which I found a cheap solution. Half Gallon milk cartons, washed out and trimmed. The loaded shells go in vertically fitting 25 to a layer. the cartons can be trimmed to hold one two or three layers, resulting in 25, 50 or 75 cartridge boxes, from something you'd normally put in the trash when empty. |

I think I recall a three of someone showing how to make shell boxes from 1 quart milk containers. If I member correctly it only involved cutting and folding and should be durable and water resistant as well. Anyone else remember this?? |

Two options in this old thread. 1. Make some from milk cartons, or 2. Buy some 20 gauge plastic boxes. they might fit, or can be slightly modified

It appears the photos got deleted?
Recently I re-thunk the milk carton trick. For boxes to slip into a trap pouch so you can dip into it easily, turn the carton side-wise so the flap opens with the rows of shell laid horizontal. It requires a bit of Duck Tape to secure the sides. |
