Range Box or Shooting Box

[Spotted Bull]

How many of you guys like to keep all your stuff in a really cool range or shooting box, and then load up a pouch as needed? This is how I usually do it. I'll get photos of my box posted tomorrow, but if anyone else has one to post I'd really like to see it!

I had a big range box once that I fashioned from an artillery cartridge box.  There was a spot where I could screw down my spotting scope, and it carried four or five cans of powder  There was places for the scope tripod, and cleaning solution and cleaning patches and a couple of boxes of round ball and various patches, and who knows what all.  However, it was too darn heavy to be practical, so I bagged that idea.  Then I got a plastic shooter's box and that limited the amount of stuff I could carry.  But I still didn't like it, so I just got into carrying the stuff I wanted to take just in my pouch.  One time heading back to Friendship, I weighed my pouch and it came in 38 pounds.  Of course, I didn't carry all that stuff on the range, but I had it close at hand.

I usually pack a day's worth of shooting or hunting (different payloads) of supplies in my pouch, but take along a G.I. ammo box with extra BP & cleaning supplies which stays in my vehicle while I shoot/hunt.

Not cool, but practical for me (YMMV).

99.9% of the time (for me), what one refers to as a Range Box is reserved for two uses; 1. Zeroing in a new muzzle loading firearm, 2. Carrying supplies to restock my shooting bags & horns at Rendezvous, or any other type of shoots I'll be attending...

I seldom ever take anything other then my muzzle loading firearm, bag, and powder horn, to the Range with me for a shooting session,,, however I do carry along in the pickup a cleaning rod,,, and in an old coffee can; some cleaning patches - cleaning water - & rifle oil, to give the rifle a quick cleaning before heading back home where it'll get a more thorough cleaning in my shop.

I also carry in my shooting bag what I need to clean my smoke-pole, but the coffee can is simple to use and leaves my cleaning stuff in my shooting bag for when I need it in the field.

Here is my shooting box. Got it from a friend I made a bag for, in trade.

Bull, that is just plain impressive.  Not only the box, but also the plunder you carry in it.  Very nice.

John you should see the junk that's under that tray!! Lotsnof cleaning patches, cap tons, prelubed patches, boxes of balls, non-PC pliers, bottles of bp solvent, I think maybe even a pound can of powder.  I need to clean that bottom up. The box weighs a ton right now!

And somewhere are the two brackets that slide onto each side that hold my rifle across the box. It comes in handy some times. I really need to find them.
