10 ga. 2 7/8" boxes
 

Have any of you guys come across those white cardboard, fold up, cartridge boxes for 2 7/8" 10 ga? I've checked all the reloading suppliers that I can think of, but have yet to find any in that configuration.

I can find plastic boxes for them, but it just rubs me wrong about putting my blackpowder filled, brass cases in a plastic box. Maybe I'll just have to go to a shrink to get over my compulsiveness, but then again they just might think my obsession of loading blackpowder in brass cases is the bigger problem> :confused:

good luck finding those boxes...im no help...charlie

Just get some cardboard and some glue and make some..... can't be that difficult...

I think that's what I'll probably end up having to do. Now I'll just have to find an old 10 ga. Parker box label that I can scan.....Yeah, I know, good luck.

please post us some pictures of your parker 10 ga shells when you get them completed...should be a very attactive box...... charlie

I want to see the old ten gauge Parker box. By the way, do you have the facilities to make one piece shell boxes from a pattern. We can send you a model if this is what you need.

No, unfortunately my facilities would involve sitting at my work bench with an X-acto knife cutting out sheet stock, making one at a time.

I believe there are box manufacturers who will make anything you need, as long as they have dimensions. With a little searching I might be able to come up with something. I'm not sure what the minimum order would be though.....I'm sure there are probably enough guys here shooting short tens that might want a few. I'll see if I can find anything reasonable.

Alex Papp at RST obviously has a source for one piece boxes and the printing of marvelous logos. Unfortunately, their ten gauge boxes are ten packs, not twenty fives. However, Alex may be willing to share his source with you.

Make your own, it's not very hard. Fine a 10ga box, take it apart and trace around it. Then measure the amount less you want and shorten the necessary sides. I've done it for 2" 12ga and 2 1/2" 12ga a number of times. Doesn't take that long. Paul

forrest how are you coming along with them boxes...looking forward to seeing them... charlie
