CCI .22LR MiniMag packaging

[barnstormer37]

These .22LR cartridges are 100 to a container, the product number is 0030.
They are in a plastic "sleeve", and the top has to slide sideways to open the "box". How do I get the lid to move? The plastic lid has little nibs on the inside that prevent it from sliding, and they do a great job of accomplishing that. There must be a simple way of getting this done. I just haven't figured it out yet.

I've never used them, so I'm of no help, but you have to admit it is rather funny.

The lid slide's.... keep working on it..

Cut the labeling on the end of the box that covers the lid and the box. Then push the lid with your thumb. Works every time I do it.

Yeah, some are quite tight. Just keep f**king with it.

Cut the label on both side of the case near the top slider then the top lid will slide open.

I don't know what "sideways" is. But you have to cut the label and the top will slide in the direction of the label.

I don't know what "sideways" is. But you have to cut the label and the top will slide in the direction of the label.

According to Merriam-Webster;

sideways 1: from the side 2: with one side to the front 3: to, toward, or at one side.

Glad I could help.

Smack it with a hammer!

(it's a joke, right?)

Don't smack with a hammer lmao. If you don't cut the labeling you're not going to get anywhere. You can always reuse the case to organize bulk ammo.

LOL reminds me of my Appleseed! We knew to cut the label and slide the lid off and we still had trouble! Try not to push down too much when sliding the cover off. It can be a *****.

Funny, you know how to define sideways, but can't open the top of cci mini-mags? Are you for real?

Hold it above your head upside-down. Then just keep trying to slide it off. You will get it eventually.

Back when I shot them regularly I'd get some that just didn't want to slide. Then I'd slip a thin knife blade in the far end and twist gently. The lid would slip part way and then you could slide it the rest of the way.

Go buy a small propane torch... Starting near the middle gradually apply heat to the case. Once it starts to burn on its own, grab a beer and just sit back and wait.. Soon all of the ammo will be free from it'd confines...

This thread is funny. Sorry, I know everyone is new at one time or another, but my 6 year old figured the label cut and slide part out on his own years ago by himself.

 

[ashby koss]

Just buy enough of them to fill an ammo can, then break the boxes and dump.. Ammo can reloading seems easier with 22LR anyways.

It's the new Bloomberg/Feinstein packaging. It won't open. Ever.
