I just use my 357 Mag ones and use rubber bands to hold the lid on.

Hi there very happy man! All you have to do is buy a case made for the 222, 223 or the 17 remingtons. I also cut a piece of foam carpet padding and stuffed it into the lid to keep them from rattling back and fourth. You'll find this case works very well for the Maximum.

I do what flash does......buy the box ( I think the part # is 505 ) for .223 and .357 maxs fit right in there. At gunshows you can buy those things for like a buck a piece.

I got 2 from MTM that are for 17 rem,222, 223 they will work for the 357 max they will be a little short all you will have to do is glue a piece of foam to the inside of the lid to take up some space and keep them from rattling. they are rust colored. they have glue smears where I used rubber cement to hold loading data on

I am looking for some locking lid boxes for 308 winchester
