cowpuc Posted February 23, 2019 Share #1 Posted February 23, 2019 I sold all my loading stuff including the little things like ammo trays. I now buy a LOT of bulk ammo,, you guys know,, the kind of stuff that comes in bags instead of boxes.. In stepping up the game of shootin for fun and using speed loaders, it has come to my attention that I could really use trays that the ammo will sit neatly inline and facing PRIMER END UP, not the typical primer end down trays like I remember from days long gone by. Any of you lop eared varmints know of a decent tray brand that stores primer end up? I have searched EBay and Gunbroker and found Berryman's (?) to be looking like what I need but none of the pics I see actually show rounds facing down.. Any thoughts? Just grabbed a ProMag Drum Feed for my AR 308,, those trays are gonna become very important when Tip and the AR15 and I with the AR10 start trimming trees in the swamp this spring!! Cant let er out ratty tat tat me ya know!! Thank in advance ya'll! Puc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvmy40 Posted February 23, 2019 Share #5 Posted February 23, 2019 Are you talking reloading trays o ammo boxes? I use these for reloading https://www.amazon.com/Frankford-Arsenal-Perfect-Reloading-Convenient-x/dp/B00W8XHC3A I have several for 9mm, .45acp. 32acp, .223, etc. You can set them up bullets up or primer up, either way.

That is exactly what I am talking about 40!!! I did some research and found the trays that will work with my 1911. Shown here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1-BERRYS-PLASTIC-AMMO-BOX-SMOKE-COLOR-45-acp-40-cal-10mm-100-rd/261714005413? It is VERY important in my situation that when inverted (primer facing up) that the rounds extend past the edge of the tray as I will be sliding a loader in from the side to pick up the ammo. Do you know if the Franklins will expose the case ends like that above the edge of the tray,, speaking now of 308 Winchester/762 NATO? Thanks!

Sylvester Posted February 23, 2019 Share #8 Posted February 23, 2019 All I can say is "I hope spring comes soon to the frigid North", Cowpuc is going to take poor Tippy out and between the two they will eliminate the state natural area.

luvmy40 Posted February 24, 2019 Share #10 Posted February 24, 2019 The Frankford trays are only 1/2-3/4" deep. I load .308 in them but I can't honestly say they'll hold a completed round, primer up stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
