After looking everywhere for something to carry .408s in, dropped one nose down in a MTM H-50-XL I purchased for .338 LM. SOB fits perfect! Hope this helps someone.

Hope you don't drop that box or you just set back you seating depth by "X" depending on your neck size

Re: .408 CT Ammo Box
I use the 20 gauge shell holder for loading powder.
I've been using these nose-down for some time...

I have been using these that have been modified by GEO.AZ from biggerhammer. They support very well and keep rattles down including if they drop on the top

Like em nose up myself! Still better than paper box. The mtm has plastic fingers in bottom that seems to support them pretty good. After all the effort I put in reloading my ammo I handle it pretty carefully.

Tried the 12 ga shotshell boxes for .50 cal, too big and holes vary in size. Think you will like the H-50-XL. More compact, nice for 12 bucks. BUT WAIT! They also come in green or clear blue.

Why buy something you are going to have to modify. The MTM works fine.

Re: .408 CT Ammo Box
The ones I use are 50 shell 10 gauge and the second layer plate just has holes drilled in them that fit right over the top to hold them nicely in place George sells em' for just 3 or 4 bucks over what you can get them for online except for the fact that they are hard to find in the 10 gauge from what I have heard. He is a good guy so I support the gun community. Mine are camo SF-50-10

Re: .408 CT Ammo Box
FWIW, I was worried about the MTM nose down stuff and having loads with varying degrees of neck tension. When you fill the box 100% it tends to press the .408 cases down a bit more than I was comfortable, so I resorted to just avoiding the slots at the front and back. But then I did some runout tests and there weren't any problems. Of course, this all depends on your COAL too.

I like to take a piece of foam about 3/8" thick and cut to snuggly fit in the top of the ammo case. I attach with spray adhesive and this keeps the cases from rattling.
