An embodiment of a container may include a cap and a body. The cap may include a top portion, cap walls that form an outer perimeter, and a protruding end that forms an inner perimeter sized smaller than the outer perimeter. The body may include a bottom portion and body walls with distal outermost ends that form a cavity and a body perimeter. The body perimeter may be substantially the same as the outer perimeter. The body may also include upper outer and inner rims disposed around the entire distal outermost ends and having a channel between them. The channel may be sized to receive the protruding end in a friction seal when the container is in a closed position. No portion of the cap may be configured to extend into the cavity or beyond the body perimeter in the closed position.

1. A container, comprising: a cap and a body,the body including a bottom and body walls, the body walls extending from the bottom from proximal ends of the body walls to distal ends of the body walls, the body walls forming a cavity on an inner side,the body walls having a channel disposed within the body walls and proximate the distal ends of the body walls, the channel having a floor, an opening proximate the distal ends of the body walls, an inner wall, and an outer wall, each of the inner and outer walls extending in a single continuous arc between the floor of the channel and the opening of the channel, the channel sized to receive a portion of the cap when the container is in a closed position, the channel configured to repeatably receive and release the portion of the cap, andthe cavity having one or more compartments, each compartment having a bottom chamber wall portion of a first diameter, and a top chamber wall portion of a second diameter larger than the first diameter, wherein the top and bottom chamber wall portions are adapted to hold a round of ammunition in a suspended position, such that a projectile end of the round of ammunition extends downward in the bottom chamber wall portion and is free of contact in the bottom chamber wall portion of the container. 2. The container of claim 1, wherein the cap includes a top, cap walls, and a protruding end, the cap walls extending from the top, the protruding end extending from the cap walls in an opposite direction from the top, the protruding end being the portion of the cap received within the channel. 3. The container of claim 2, further comprising one or more first friction sealer(s) disposed on a first side of the protruding end. 4. The container of claim 3, further comprising one or more second friction sealer(s) disposed on a second side of the protruding end that is opposite the first side. 5. The container of claim 3, wherein the one or more first friction sealers are flexible ribs that flex to form the friction seal within the channel when the container is in the closed position. 6. The container of claim 4, wherein the one or more second friction sealers are flexible ribs that flex to form the friction seal within the channel when the container is in the closed position. 7. The container of claim 3, wherein the one or more first friction sealer(s) makes contact with, but does not protrude through, respective surface areas of the inner and outer walls of the channel. 8. The container of claim 1, wherein the body walls have a substantially uniform thickness from the proximal ends of the body walls to the distal ends of the body walls. 9. The container of claim 1, wherein the cavity is configured such that an upper rim of a casing of a round of ammunition extends above the top chamber wall portion into an open space above the respective compartment. 10. The container of claim 1, wherein each compartment includes a transition wall area between the top chamber wall portion and the bottom chamber wall portion, the transition wall portion having a third diameter that is larger than the first diameter and smaller than the second diameter. 11. The container of claim 10, wherein the transition wall portion has a flat angled wall portion, a first rounded edge between the top chamber wall portion and the flat angled wall portion, and a second rounded edge between the flat angled wall portion and the bottom chamber wall portion. 12. A container comprising: a cap and a body,the body including a bottom and body walls extending from the bottom from proximal ends of the body walls to distal ends of the body walls,the body walls having a channel disposed within the body walls and proximate the distal ends of the body walls, the body walls having a width wherein the width of the body walls proximate the bottom of the body is at least the width of the body walls proximate the channel, the channel having a floor, an opening proximate the distal ends of the body walls, an inner wall, and an outer wall, each of the inner and outer walls extending in a single continuous arc between the floor of the channel and the opening of the channel, the channel sized to receive a portion of the cap when the container is in a closed position,wherein an exterior width of the container proximate the bottom of the body is substantially the same as the exterior width of the container proximate the distal ends of the body walls. 13. The container of claim 12, wherein the cap includes a top, cap walls, and a protruding end, the cap walls extending from the top, the protruding end extending from the cap walls in an opposite direction from the top, the protruding end being the portion of the cap received within the channel. 14. The container of claim 13, further comprising one or more first friction sealer(s) disposed on a first side of the protruding end, and one or more second friction sealer(s) disposed on a second side of the protruding end that is opposite the first side. 15. The container of claim 14, wherein the one or more first and second friction sealer(s) makes contact with, but does not protrude through, respective surface areas of the inner and outer walls of the channel. 16. A container comprising: a cap and a body,the body formed of a unitary construction and including a bottom and body walls extending continuously from the bottom from proximal ends of the body walls to distal ends of the body walls, the body walls forming a cavity on an inner side,the cavity having a compartment, the compartment having a bottom chamber wall portion of a first diameter, and a top chamber wall portion of a second diameter larger than the first diameter and an abutment region between the bottom chamber wall portion and the top chamber wall portion, the abutment region having a third diameter smaller than the second diameter and larger than the first diameter, wherein the top and bottom chamber wall portions and the abutment region are adapted to hold a round of ammunition in a suspended position, such that the round of ammunition is stopped by the abutment region and a projectile end of the round of ammunition extends downward in the bottom chamber wall portion so that the projectile end extends into a lower open space and is free of contact with any portion of the container,further wherein the top and bottom chamber wall portions and the abutment region are each formed from an inner wall of the compartment. 17. The container of claim 16, wherein the cavity is configured such that an upper rim of a casing of a round of ammunition extends above the top chamber wall portion into an upper open space above the compartment. 18. The container of claim 16, wherein the abutment region includes a transition wall area between the top chamber wall portion and the bottom chamber wall portion, the transition wall portion having a third diameter that is larger than the first diameter and smaller than the second diameter. 19. The container of claim 18, wherein the transition wall portion has a flat angled wall portion, a first rounded edge between the top chamber wall portion and the flat angled wall portion, and a second rounded edge between the flat angled wall portion and the bottom chamber wall portion. 20. The container of claim 16, wherein the container has a first compartment and a second compartment, further wherein a wall is interposed the first and second compartments such that on one side of the wall forms portions of a first top and first bottom chamber wall portions, and a first abutment region, of the first compartment and a second opposite side of the wall forms portions of a second top and second bottom chamber wall portions, and a second abutment region, of the second compartment.
