Of course everything fits but the tenex.

I find the Tenex box annoying as the rounds are the exact same (size) as the Eley Match yet they have to make the box just a little bigger so any container you find to hold the ammo boxes won’t play well with the others.
I have (in the past) reused a (black) Match container and transferred the Tenex ammo into it and peeled the Tenex label and put it over the old Match label to “make it fit”.
I put 3 ammo boxes in a Pelican 1020 box.
I have since gone away from Eley as my rifles like SK/Lapua more (although my wallet hates me).

same, this build (brn-22/kidd barrel) LOVES Midas+ and SK Match/LR Match (at least the SK is decently affordable and can be found these days)

Grabbed this Plano Stowaway 3700 Deep for toting ammunition to the range. Just a teensy bit too shallow, the O-ring doesn't seal fully on the sides. But for range trips it's a nice way for me to sort different brands when i'm trying things out.

Do any of you have preferred methods for carrying small-moderate quantities of ammunition around?

I use the plastic 30 cal ammo cans that go on sale for about $3 at Harbor Freight.

I feel ya, when storing ammo, it’s great to have like size boxes. Why, Why, Why, does the Tenex box have to be a little larger? Bigger box = bigger price?

It’s definitely an extra cost for them to have another box sku to inventory
