Default What are you using for ammo boxes?

For theses little dandys like the 17FB and 20 VarTarg?

I'd prefer 100 round plastic and was wondering what seems to hold them the best.

Due to the shorter case, I settled on the 357 revolver boxes for my FB.
Dillon's are the only one I found that were tall enough, but I only tried a few others.
They might not be tall enough for plastic tipped bullets, but they fit the HP's I use perfectly.
Don't know if they offer 100 rounders, I use the 50's.

I have found that boxes made for the 357 Maximum pistol cartridge fits the 22 Hornet & 22 Fire Ball cartridges and their many hybrids quite nicely.

MTM makes .22 Hornet specific cases that I use for the .17AH. Never tried FB cases in the but don't see why they wouldn't work. I use the RS100 box for my FB's but there is a lot of room for the fired ones to dislodge.

I have been using the Berry's #404 boxes for my 17 FB and 20 VT. By the way we stock the Berry's ammo boxes in numerous sizes and colors.

I bought the MTM Hornet cases but I pull the inserts out and use them for the 20PPC
