Ysabel Kid inspired me to make one of those cartidge boxes
so while watching "The Shootist" this evening...I sat down and made one..
so...here it is..
symmetry needs work and my pic taking with my camera on my phone does to.....

I am using the old styrofoam bullet blocks inside...

I looked again and I agreed with Pokey. Your first pic is great. Sorry I didn't state that the first time.

Sure was...and thanks...I think I will make one for each of my levers...22 to 38-55
I used my autocad program and printed it though a pdf file...then spray mounted it
on the construction board and then cut them out.
Hardest part is making them fit properly and bending
the construction board to give you a nice crisp corners and edges...
havent figured that out yet......

Is there another source for suitable cardboard, besides backs of tablets? Can it be ordered from somewhere?

I want to try making these myself.

Midway has boxes that I have considered labeling for my reloads. Caliber specific white cardboard boxes can be found by searching for "styrofoam tray". The 44M/45Colt are $15.99 for 25 of the 50 round boxes.
Here is a link for the 44m/45Colt.

RIHMFIRE, that is a fine looking ammo box, and a good looking outfit. How about that Puma knife, how old is it can you post a picture of it?I have a old Puma bowie from the mid to late 1960's could be from the 1970's not sure how to date them with the serial number.

My Dad bought this Puma for me back in 85...as you can tell its been though a lot
of time in the field...its #6377...a "West Germany" era

but over the years I have been using chicago cutlery knives to butcher my game
and most recently Cutco Knives. These have a surrated "D" shape cutting edge and
are FAR superior to any other knife I have used

Thanks for the pictures, that's a good looking knife.
