The MTM SB-200 will hold 250. 100 un-boxed with 150 still in there boxes. If you noticed this weekend I had mine set up with the four banks of 15 and 5 extra in case I droped any (single load).
It does help if you loose count were you are at if you've missed a couple critters... (or shot them off bank.....)

Now you could have just skipped the fact that I shot one (OK..several) off the wrong bank - or Mixed up the Rams and the pigs - or whatever..... It was the loaner rifle with the really low mounted scope and....ahhhh eehhh whatever else excuse I can perhaps present in a convincing manner.....

Keep in mind at the Nationals you are only allowed 5 in the magazine or open on the table in front of you, so the bigger box is of no advantage. I've also seen the bigger 22 box act like a sail in a wind gust and 100 rounds of Eley dumped into the gravel at Ridgway :shock: :cry: . I made a block out of Cherry and have 10 holes in it and load 10 at the local matches and 5 at a time at the Nationals.

Am I to assume that the "5 at a time" rule is to help someone to make sure they can count to 5 properly....?

Is it common that someone inadvertently shoots more - or less - than 5 rounds at a bank.... or what.....

Those of us that have been around for a while have seen some interesting shots! As for the rule, yes it exists, only enforced by Greg if someone complains or he doesn't like you.
