I have the RS-S-50 and they will work bullet down. Bullet up is not an option unless you want to try and jam them in.

Anyone know of 20 round case that will work. I really don't need to carry 50 extra rounds when I go hunting...and if I do, I think I need to work on my shooting abilities.lol

According to MTM's Application Chart, you need the J-20-M,

Thanks Hoot.

Wish they had a model for 20 rounds with a hinge, but I'll be giving the ones you mentioned a try. Probably have to put a rubber band around them to hold them closed in my pack.

Actually, it can be a chore getting the two halves to slide apart. They fit together pretty snug. I have some with different bottleneck calibers but not the 450b. Each morning befre going out. I load two mags with 5 rounds and put one in a ziploc to keep lint out. If 10 rounds wont get it done, its time to go back to the car. ;)

Lol....I totally understand what you're saying. I usually load up two 4 round mags and head out, but on an all day sit, hunting open fields, a few extra rounds in my bag wouldn't hurt my feelings.lol

Well, I finally decided on the RS-S-50. Got 4 boxes and some more brass. I see what you guys meant on the bullet-up position not working. But I was okay with that. Bullet-down is fine. Thanks to all who chimed in.
