So where's the inventiveness? This is what CTI has been putting their Pro38 motors in for some time now.

I've not touched my Pro38 case in a long time, but I don't recall the plastic shipping container being heavy enough for long term use.

The Merlin Missiles storage cases look like a waste of money to me, unless they are really thick or something. Personally, I let my cases rattle around. Who cares what the finish looks like as they are going into a rocket anyhow.

A piece of 4" PVC pipe with a cap on one end and a cleanout plug on the other end works great for 98mm motors. I did this for my 98mm Hypertech M as it is a lot more fragile than any normal reload hardware.
