Range boxes
 

Just wondering what others may use for their range box. Also wondering if anyone has or is using one of these?

Its certainly not a Gerstner but, for the price it may be a good range box. I found one review that included dimensions.

How portable do you think that is? Although it might work fine for the house box. I have a house box and then load a field bag that I take out. The field bag holds the powder, projectiles, tool, and misc items that I need when on the range.

That sure is a nice looking tool chest.

Its obviously heavier but, when I shoot I'm not far from the benches at the range. Now that I load using the Lane's tubes, I don't need the extra depth I need now. The club is just over 25 miles away, so I can't forget anything. The match in Friendship is over 9-10 hours one way and I certainly can't forget anything on that trip.

At home, I like things in the open on shelves, where I can reach them quickly, however that would also be dandy on the bench.

I keep everything in possible bags, one for every caliber. Then put the bullets/powder/shooting rest/telescope/targets in a bigger cardboard box an carry to the bench.

I now have a 25 mile trek to the range also...

For trips to the range I used a Stanley portable tool box. I don't remember exactly where I got it either Home Depot or Sears. The handle extends so it is easy to pull behind you. My only complaint about it is that you cannot easily attach any rifles to it, you still have to carry those. Below is a picture of it.

Some day when I have the time I would like to make my own range box.

Its a fishing box, but would work...

Wow! those are huge - you actually pack those around?

I guess I am going the opposite direction in that I feel I need the portability.

This simple tool box contains most everything I might need on a range trip or even while hunting..

I take-along a fishing tackle box. The spacer inserts can be easily swapped around or removed.

I use the same basic set up as Sabotloader, My arrangement is different but that's to be expected.

Not a hunting pack, just a range/target box.

Hunting for me, consists of the loaded rifle, 3 speed loaders, 4 primer holders and a short starter.

Current range box and I need more charge tubes. I can't put much more into it.

Some very nice set ups there Gentlemen.

I went a little simpler. A Walmart purchased cloth tool box. Something like this:

I think mine is larger but the price point was close.

Take a look at the GPS Black Powder Range Bag at Amazon or Reds Gear(GPS 1621 BLP). It holds a lot of gear and I use marked bank bags to separate the smaller items. Come hunting season it's large enough to hold my camera, gloves, binoculars etc, About $60.

My range box is a .50 caliber ammo can with organizers. i carry the powder short starter, stapler, targets and a few tools in a bag like the one Semisane uses.

The wooden ones are Machinist's tool boxes. Mine aren't wood but I still have both of my Kennedy steel boxes. The larger one is still full of my machinist's tools and accompanying stuff, while the other one I keep as a general tool/handy box in my den. Who knows... maybe someday I'll sell my machinist's tools and convert the larger one to a range box. I'm sure it would work great for that.

The only "range box" I use now is pretty much a large plastic field box with a removable tray that is dedicated to muzzleloading supplies and accoutrements.

Running around yesterday, a certain box caught my eye so today I went and picked it up. I believe this is going to work out fine for a range box. Hunting stuff goes into a single pocket.

A piece of wood and a 5/8" drill......

That looks far better for portability... I think I might even need to look for one of those... Might be a little big but definitely has more room than my box.

This is what I use. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Stanley-Se...ments/16609546
I also have 2 of these, one for BP and one for archery (both are older and don't have the upper red tray. http://www.amazon.com/MTM-Portable-S...ting+range+box

I bought mine at the Wal-Mart too.

With the Ultimate BP Xpress and using T7M pellets, I needed a place to put the tubes where they wouldn't roll around and break the pellets. The Lane's tubes hold both the bullet and the pellets. The bottom drawer worked excellent with the drilled out board. I use the RED capped tubes for the heavy charges (3) and the GREEN (2) top for lighter loads.
