A reusable container for storing ammunition cartridges or similar shaped products comprises a base having a plurality of recesses, a first cover portion, and a second cover portion. A first link is pivotably connected to the base and the first cover portion. A second link is pivotably connected to the base and to the second cover portion. In a closed position, a first snap releasably retains the first cover portion over the base and a second snap releasably retains the second cover portion over the base. In an open position, the top and bottom surfaces of the container are configured so that multiple containers can be nested and stacked together.
