Dunno.
The pressing question is do you have the capability to produce a chart with the results of what you didn't do? Damn that's funny..

After reading all this stuff about the new box, I just had to go out and open one of the new 3-pack of 150 7mm's that came in the other day.
Amazingly enough, it opened really easily to the same technique that opened other boxes of bullets over the years: Slicing the paper over any place that looked like it covers a cardboard flap. Took about 10 seconds.
It went back together even quicker. It ain't a Rubik's Cube.

Gotta say I do really like the Speer/Barnes boxes. I use them for shell holders and misc stuff all the time. To bad my Partitions don't show up in Speer/Barnes boxes.
Just saying.

Yeah, I like the plastic bullet boxes myself, for the same reason. Sometimes I wish the lid-latch on the Speer boxes was as secure as on the Barnes boxes, though....

Dunno nuthin' about no 3-pack.
But the 50-ct box has a flap glued down that once she's pulled up, there 'taint no way to close that beach up securely agin'. That ain't right in a proper-bilt box.
Ain't no thang. I like the bullet pics, think the box is a bit silly, and like green chile in my scrambled eggs......... lol...
The CENTER will hold.

JB,
You're right the Barnes box is a definate step above Speer box. Not really in the same class...

I've found that with some rounds the old Barnes boxes work awfully good to toss extra rounds in my day pack. And, the way I shoot I need all the xtra rounds I can carry..<g>

You guys should get together and form a clit clique <grin>... Jeff, the only clique around here is the clique of guys who didn't vote for Obama. Unfortunately, that leaves you out.

That's not really a clique. More like a mob!

Jeff, go back to the first page and look at the picture I put up. Cut on those red lines with the next box you get. Life will be much easier.

Jeff,
I'm concerned about you. If you do much shooting, dealing with those boxes could give you carpal tunnel syndrome.

Put simply: the old box was better, significantly so. But who cares? I just tossed it in as an aside... a comment... I think the new box design (physically) is stoopid. I like the bullet pics and the info about max/min impact velocity printed right on the box though. That's really my point here. That's not stupid. That's very forthright and open of them.

It goes back to that old saying: "It's not the box, it's the Indian", or something similar.
