Slip Top Ammo Box for 416 Ruger

[John Camp]

I see pictures of these things all the time but now I can not find where to by them. I am looking for a plastic slip top bo for 416 Ruger. I would prefer a 10 round box but a 20 would do. Where do I buy these things?

 

[Albert GRANT]

Think midway has them

 

[John Camp]

Thanks Albert,
I have looked there already. They have a huge selection but not 416.

The 416 Ruger doesn't appear to be listed, but it looks like the MTM J-20-LLD is the model that might work.

If you order custom ammo from Hendershots, it comes in these types of plastic boxes.

Thanks everyone. I bought some MTM ammo wallets. As long as nothing rattles these should work.

 

[John Camp]

Got the ammo wallets. Unfortunately the 416 Ruger is too narrow a cartridge for the safari wallet. They do "click" into the standard large wallet however.

Ebay? its worth a try, sounds like the one you need is not so common

Have you found the slip top box you were looking for?

 

[John Camp]

Have not

Can you buy another rifle to solve the problem. Something using ammo that suits the available boxes. It’s seems there is no other way.

I like the way you think. Really outside the box.

Would a 300 win mag box not work? isn’t the case body diameter of the Ruger the same as the belt on the win mag or am I confused?

That’d be correct for the Ruger Mag body- standard belted mag dia. If there’s a little rattle or too long, just cut out a foam spacer and glue into the lid- I do it anyway to keep carts from rattling around... then just use a heavy duty rubber band to hold the lid firm to the box. Standard, Magnum-sized slip top boxes are fairly well available from many of the usual suspects.

Graf has quite a few 20 end slip tops including a 10 round slip top for 50 BMG sized mags as pictured in the previous post showing a 10 rounder for a Barrett. Might be a little large though.

I'm reloading some 375 Ruger and just picked up some new slip cover boxes and recalled this post since the brass is the same.
So, for a loose fit with the bullet up it is indeed the MTM Case-Gard J-20-LLD. They are loose and rattle a bit and the box is a bit long since it's made for longer magnums but I put some leftover foam from the Barnes Bullet boxes in the top and they don't go anywhere. If you want a snug fit with no rattle use the regular J-20 series large rifle for 30-06 and such. They fit point down lose and point up very snug. I stop them at about 1/4 inch from the bottom and stagger them and they are OK to get out, all the way down is tight.
