ce2 storage solution

[tatt]

after searching for something to hold (and kind of organize) ce2's and cartos, i came across the plastic holder from a box of .380 auto shells (from american eagle) - with 50 slots in a 3"x5" box there's enough room to keep everything nice and neat in just a small space - ce2's modded with syringes don't fit unless they're turned upside down - no more parts rolling off my desk and into the trash can!!!!!

Great idea! Thanks for the tip.

Nice, I like it.

I was wondering how to keep all the filled cartos!

Where did you buy this?

Look at this! We could use these Plastic Ammo/Storage Boxes .500 S&W (50 rd): Ammo Boxes and Bins

Great idea!

This one says it holds .22 rifle bullets -- 5.7 mm diameter -- is that big enough? I like this one cuz you could put your other stuff in the middle. Amazon.com: MTM 200 Round Small Bore Ammo Box .22 Long Rifle: Sports & Outdoors

i tried a couple other sizes - 9mm didn't fit the syringe mods (odd cause it's basically the same round) - that's why i added that the box was american eagle...
.40cal was too big - parts fit but was sloppy - if there's a local shooting range around they'd probably let ya grab a handful out of the trash can - i usually throw them away too

reply to qusieg - i didn't buy it - it's the plastic tray that holds bullets in the cardboard box -

You can always go to a sporting goods store or a gun shop and look for ammo boxes for re-loads. Boxes for rifle calibers could be perfect for cartos.

Oooooh I see!! You could resell those, lol, I'd buy one ... I have no gun for which to buy ammo for, lol.

Good idea -- don't they sell that stuff at WalMart too?

22 or 22LR is way to small.

44 Mag or 45 Long Colt should work. Something more like this but with better shipping.

I was just reading on another thread:
"I use a 44 magnum bullet case for my 510 cartos and it works flawlessly. $2.44 at walmart."

I just ordered this one http://www.amazon.com/MTM-Round-Flip-Top-Ammo-Clear/dp/B00162OH64/ref=lh_ni_t on Amazon. Tried to find one at Wal Mart but it seemed to be gun-free at this one.

great find!! think i'm gonna try the 22-250 case - it should be deep enough to be able to close the lid with the ce2's in it

I have been using the MTM box for some time to hold prefilled 808 cartomizers. Having just recently bought some CE2's, however, I find that they are JUST barely too tall to fit in the MTM box and let it close. They fit fine on their sides, but take up a lot of slots this way.

I bet those trays from the boxes could be found at a local gun range for nearly free Would be good for organizing a larger box.
