I bought 5 Stout Stuff 50 cal cans from Walmart they're actually pretty decent and only $9 each.
I submerged one for several minutes and it stayed sealed. I'll buy more. |

I was sad that PSA didn't do it last year on a few holidays, but they usually did a sale of 12 ammo cans for like $85 shipped. That's a hell of a deal. Otherwise, $9 at walmart will work. Better then paying $15-20.

12 new, steel, 50 cal, believe Blackhawk Cans. Just like their Gold Dot 223 I don't think ammo cans will be on sale/in stock anymore...

Mark your calendar. The past 2 or 3 years academy has done the chinese new 50 cal metal cans for 10 bucks and free shipping at 100 bucks. I pay tax, so I call em $11 cans.
Costco often has a 30 cal in a 50 cal can, these tend to be the chinese cans and are slightly taller than regular surplus cans cause some folks say you can not put a 30cal can in a surplus 50 cal can, I have never tried so I don't know. I bought some 20mm ammo cans used from sportsmans guide for 11 bucks to the door last year. It was a one time sale, have not seem em repeat. I have bought the new chinese cans from academy for 2 years before, did not buy any last year cause I bought the 20mm cans. To some extent I am trying to position myself so if academy will do the sale this year I can just order in a few hundred bucks worth of cans. I have been happy with how they pack em and they seem good to me. |

Cheap Chinese can that maintains a good seal. You can get free shipping with an order of 5.

Ive got two of the wally world cans, they are nice but sit taller than the rest of my cans - a hair more room, but doesn't stack tightly with my others
Even more affordable than the walmart ones are the ones from tractor supply co when they have them. 8$ for 50 cal and 6$ for 30 cal and are the same size as my milsurp cans. The last time I was at TSC they had some in realtree and textured toolbox paint if that is more your taste than OD green. I might grab 2 of the real tree units to store turkey shells and deer loads. |

I usually get grade 1 or grade 2 military surplus ammo cans from Midway. Their excellent for what I need.
They have sales on them as well and can catch free shipping. I have got grade three, their not bad, a couple rust spots with good seals. I touch them up with some light sand paper and primer/paint any rough spots. Never been more than a few. But I try to practice getting the best Mil-Surplus they have in stock; budget permitting. Their priced by the grade of the surplus cans. But the grade 3's I've ever got was because the size can I wanted and what is available. I do have some Chinese cans; their seals is not a wide as the U.S. Mil-Surplus from what I can tell. I've never used plastic cans, so cannot speak to those. |

The blackhawk can you have to watch them I got some .30 cal that were US made but the .50's have this on their description
Brand: BLACKHAWK! Country of Origin: Imported Academy has some of the best looking cans I have seen, the seals are nice and tight and the paint is so smooth it looks like it was electrostatic applied and the stencil is a nice touch. They are also available in 3 colors green~tan~black if you want to make sorting easier or ... Harbor freight has some clones and they even cloned the stamp in the back lol. HF cans 
Academy cans

I've got to say of all the cans I own the Academy painted cans are the best! They are excellent build quality and they seal better than most of my mil-spec cans that I got from an Army family member.

I buy mine at a local surplus shop. .30's are $5 apiece, you pick 'em and clean 'em and .50's are $8, same deal. I usually take mine and lay them out on the driveway on a hot sunny day and blast the shit out of them with the pressure washer, then lube the seals with some silicone spray. Good to go.

My buddy is the all time master at getting cheap ammo cans.
He goes to the gunshow right at closing time when the ammo can guys are standing there staring at the mountain of ammo cans they have to drag home. Last show he got us a bunch at $6 each with some giant duffle bags thrown in to carry them home. |

I got some a few years ago in Oklahoma at a surplus store that was also a shooting range. Haven't needed more sense, if I buy any from here it will probably be because I want it not need. I want an old .45ACP ammo can for my .45acp ammo. One of my former boss's had one but wouldn't let it go. (an old veteran)
