Anyone know of an aftermarket source other than Resicast ?
Google was not my friend here.

You want boxes or projectiles/charges?

Panzer Art might do some suitable boxes - projectiles were in a couple of designs including P59 and charges in C206s.

Just checked - Panzer Art does C206s, item 185.

For completeness' sake Archer transfers do markings for ammo boxes and cartridges:

A while back ( 2013 ? ) Bronco made a separate ammo trailer for the 25 pounder . It came with trays as well as 30 odd sets of cartridges and projectiles . Might be cheaper than going resin

or eBay

What's in the box :

Jerry,

I just wondered why you've discounted the Resicast ones? Availability?

Thanks Frenchie,very very helpful as always.
Brian,Resicast stuff looks good but from what I can glean from the posts here,The Bronco set offers more bang for your buck!
