.22 ammunition box

I currently have one of those plastic MTM 200 round boxes which does the job but annoyingly the lid won't stay open and keeps springing back shut unless you put some weight on it. So i fancy treating myself to something a little nicer but I'm struggling to find something suitable. Ideally it needs to hold 100 ready to shoot ( i tend to split them up into groups of ten or five depending on what distance I'm shooting) with space for one full box of 50 and room for empties.
Any suggestions?

I just pop a spent cartridge case in side the lid hinge, that keeps it open.

Lol, i do either as above, or I use my breech flag to hold the hinge open, since when I'm in position and using the ammo, it's not needed :)

I made this about forty years ago - holds 100 in blocks of 10.

I just empty the box they come in either into my coat pocket or on the bench depending on where and what I am shooting.

Some of our shooters do that but i prefer to have them neat and in rows then I'm always sure how many I've shot.

The Parker Hale Cartridge Box used to be popular...
Got this one free along with a BSA Century Rifle I bought for £12. 50 years ago.
