Get some of the MTM RMLD-50 ammo boxes. They are designed for a max COAL of 3.08"

It's width, not length. I think they are designed to go bullet end down. The bottom of each compartment is rounded to kind of cup the bullet, I'm assuming. The rim of the cartridge is too wide to fit in the square hole, bullet end up.

When I ordered them, the description was large rifle. When they showed up, they say long rifle.

I'll look into the ones from your link.
