Next time you're in the market for plastic ammo cans... Try the MTM cans. They're a good bit stronger than the Planos in my opinion. They also don't have the taper top to bottom like the Planos.

There is a reason the military uses steel cans. Period. Plastic containers are fine for just storing but they do not take much abuse.

I use Harbor Freight cans that go on sale down to $3 for the .30cal boxes and $6 for the 50. I try to do mostly 30s and I don’t use the box as often as I can since the plastic holds moisture. I always throw a few silicon packs in the case for moisture protection as well. For 9mm I get a full case of 1000 rounds in a 30cal plastic ammo can.

556 in the same can's, I was able to fit 1200 rds.

I have that same can and 500 rounds seems about it, I bought a bulk lot of reloads off PSA and they came in this can and it was filled to the top, with 20 round boxes I get 460-480 in it so I plan to stick with the boxes, its a little more orginized and allows me to keep diffrent grains in the same can.

That’s how I used to roll, and then I realized that nothing comes close to the protection you get from military ammo cans.. Also it’s hard to get lot numbers from loose ammo if you ever blowup a firearm and might need them…

Nice to see I've got several metal cans filled with 9mm and depending on size of the boxes it will fit 1,000/1750 or 2,100 rounds loose in a 50 cal can.

Those boxes are junk. If you fill them up with ammo and lift them by the handle the top bends and breaks the seal, letting in air and water. They are only water resistant where the metal boxes are waterproof.

Ahhhhh, its not a clip. Glad you corrected yourself. Your feet look fuzzy though. Myself, been preping .308 brass to be reloaded for hunting season. Canada they are already tracking ammo purchases...even cash sales

Some ppl say cardboard holds moisture not sure how long till it gets bad but I just take it out the box try and keep the grains the same for each container than add some desiccant packs in each just in case

in my opinion, if you just put the ammo can in storage, plastics ones are the best because they don't have rust problems. Metal ones are the best for logistics since it's durable, that's why the military uses it.

worse container for ammo storage, if your going this direction use the metal military ones.......these are not air tight (even thought they have a rubber ring

Bless your brother.

The weight of the 1000 rds of 9mm is on the cardboard box it came in 12.78kg.

Most of my ammo is in 30 cal military ammo cans because I can stack them higher and I don’t have to worry about it if I drop a loaded can. I also wanted something that is light enough for my wife to carry if we have to leave the house and we can toss them in the truck bed and they won’t crack open. Here in San Antonio, TX we don’t have a big issue with condensation moisture infiltrating the can but I still toss in a moisture absorber to be safe. Another good point on metal cans is they remain air/water tight even after rough handling. The metal cans can be used for other things and be tossed in a vehicle without having concern of damaging it so if I store more expensive items such as scopes, lasers, radios, etc (obviously I’d install foam padding in the can before putting expensive things in one. I’m like you on how I acquire ammo and other items, I buy little by little but sometimes a great deal can be found in bulk purchases when the seller offers free shipping which will lower the overall price per round. And this gentleman is correct, it’s wise to buy as much ammo and gun related items you plan to get pretty soon due to what the bank said to the public. Imagine if Biden issued an executive order stating only small bore calibers are the only ammo people are allowed to buy/sell? Or, shipping a firearm you bought online now has to go through a government shipping service and there’s all kinds of forms you have to fill out including a court and police records background check, we’ve seen the feds do crazy things without any public warning. If you’re tight on cash or credit, please consider bartering with people in exchange for ammunition, even if it’s digging a ditch, it’s an option. Most men have a couple hobbies/interests where they have a collection of rare and expensive items that’re possibilities in trading but in lieu of cash, trading will add about 15% to the price unless otherwise negotiated.

When storing bulk ammo like this, I throw in the box label for what the ammo is. The BEST scenario is to have loaded magazines. With all that ammo would cost a fortune to have loaded mags. Rock on brother!!!

Nice but I’ll stick with the military ammo cans . They handle more stress and abuse and are proven watertight in all conditions. Yours are nice though for what you are using them for but I wouldn’t trust the handles or latches from breaking if you were moving them fully loaded in a shtf scenario.

The plastic Plano is far and away a better storage option than metal. It is air tight doesn't sweat. doesn't rust and is the only way to go in a salt water environment. So how could it not be the best choice?

what are you hunting with the 300blk and the .223 ? or just for the range. guys hunt whitetail here in indiana with the 300blk but i know you have much bigger game in alaska. I hope to make it up there someday

It's fun playing with bullets

LHA is the best!

Man I can still see that toe through the Blur! Bleach that thing! Lol jk man good video

Buy a tripod so the vid does not shake all over. Did you ever see a movie that bounces all over??

Socks? Or are they in Plano’s lol Just kidding, buy it cheap and stack em deep!

Here is the myth about storing ammo. One would think that you need to have 2000 rounds in one box. Pzzzzttt!!! If you have to lift that container for any distance or length of time, your arm will be screaming, especially your wife and kids. Listen to this guy for a medium consideration.

These ammo cans are weak if full. I personally don't waist my money on them. Not watching the whole video, so maybe u don't after figuring it out. The handles pop off when you pick them up if their full

Good thoughts, poor execution. All plastic cans can leak air, and not be truly airtight with the flexing of the lid. I stick with metal cans, as they are proven technology. But I'm is just a dude on youtube!

Careful ordering gun related stuff online , as our wonderful government is watching 24/7 .👍🐊🐊🌴😎🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍
