So, oomans, when you are loading your freshly minted cartridges into the ammunition box, what sequence do you use? More specifically, in the case of a 100 round MTM box, do you start at the rear left and cross to rear right, then track back on the next row to the left again, thus filling up on a serpentine pattern? Or always go left to right on every row? Or right to left? Or back to front? Or front to back? Or across the diagonal first? Or form a cross then fill in the quarters? Or start at the centre and spiral out? Or maybe, horror of horrors, just drop them in randomly? No. Surely nobody does that! It wouldn't be right would it?

There's a Badger with way too much time on his hands to think of arcane questions!

who uses 100 rnd boxes? 50's all the way, throw them in, and see what lands right, then sort out the stragglers

Stuff them in my pockets as they come of the press.

Ammo boxes?? What a waste of range time, straight into magazines!

Top to bottom rows for storage, pockets for shooting. If you cannot carry it over your shoulder or in your pocket, what is the point in having it?

Starting at the front-right corner.

Fill from front to back.
Index one column left.
Fill from front to back.
etc.

Just put 'em in a bag and have a boy carry them for you
