At the risk of reviving the stupidity and for those that don't load 50 at a time, I dug an old Ballistic Tip box out of the trash for demonstration purposes.
Here is the box in "sticker cut, pre-opened" status:
Here is the box in "slightly opened" status:
Here is the box in "opened" status:
Here is the box in "being closed" status:
Here is the box in "completely reclosed and perfectly re-usable" status:
While tape is a worthwhile method to close the improperly opened box as mentioned in earlier posts, I have demonstrated a possible method as detailed above that will allow you to save your blue tape for your rifle's muzzle.
I don't think Jeff has acknowledged that he just opened the box incorrectly. Thanks to War Eagle's excellent tutorial Jeff has a chance to do it correctly the next time he gets a box. War Eagle has always been willing to help those in need.
The Chosin Few November to December 1950, Korea. I'm not one of the Chosin Few but no more remarkable group of Americans ever existed.

The problem I'm having trouble wrapping my mind around is why he has this box of bullets in the first place and what he's doing with them after he manhandles that box open. I mean, he has trouble masterminding the box, and then takes the contents of said such box and commences the precise, detailed, and potentially dangerous practice of loading ammunition!!! Now that shivers me timbers!!!
However, we are not without concern and empathy for bro' Jeff. Sooo, I'm willing to start things off and contribute a dollar towards starting a pool so we can pay Stick to go over and supervise Jeff reloading so that he doesn't load the bullets backwards or somethin'...
What say ye, lads?? Anybody else in??
Just remember, JeffO, what my old boss used to tell me: no good deed goes unpunished, and the road to hell is paved with good intentions! That said, there ain't anybody here who hasn't screwed the pooch with something, sometime, somewhere.
