“What are some good commercially available range/tackle boxes that folks use on the firing line?”
-Barry Geipel
Here are some of the most informative comments from the post.
Nathan G - I grew up using a craftsman toolbox. Plenty of room in the bottom for powder and patches and the tray is good for all the small stuff.
Judy M - MTM makes a great muzzle loading box! Reasonable priced and holds all your gear.
Chris K - Plano tackle box.
Denny R - Judy’s got your answer MTM is a great company that is supported our national muzzleloading rifle Association for years And the box is designed for muzzleloading
Bob S - I use a metal tool box that belonged to my Uncle I've got some Walnut I've planned to make one with. Been sitting around about 10 years now.

They represent the conflict between Colonialism, becoming Americans, and the collision with American natives.
