Actually, I find that most of the .22LR boxes fall apart pretty fast unless you use them in one or two sittings. I have a Federal bulk 550 box that is taped up. I pour the nex box into that one for use. I guess they save that nickel per box for a box that isn't made to last getting moved around too much. I still save the box from the ammo in use just in case I need lot number info or something like that.
