Yes, there are specific inserts for ammo cans, but capacity of the can is significantly reduced.
I buy mostly USGI aluminum mags, so they simply stack up more better. I bought cheap under bed type bins, up at the Walmart, to put my NIB doomsday stash mags under a spare bed. |

Well, I bought some 50 cal cans and my magpul 30 rounders are too tall. Metal ones fit fine.

I’m a big fan of the MTM ACR8 Ammo Crate Utility Box. It holds about 54-56 GI mags or about 48 PMAGs.

Fat .50 holds I think 28 mags (?)
And a full box of loaded mags isn’t that heavy. No need for anything special beyond that. |

USGI .50 cals and plastic ammo cans from BP/Cabela’s. I can get 3 inside an old tube sock so they don’t chafe against each other. I frequently haul on long road trips for vacation otherwise I wouldn’t bother with the socks.

Quote HistoryI used this method when living in an apartment. The ergonomics to reach in, bend over, and pickup heavy cans at the bottom sucked but it's a good method to secure ammo you don't plan on touching for a while. |

As I continue to run out of space in my dinky little apartment, I think I'm going to mimic a buddy of mine's setup.
He has one of these Craftsman toolboxes in his gun room for mags that he wants easy access to. One drawer is all Glock mags, one drawer is all HK and MPX mags, one is all 5.56 mags, etc. This would work well for me too I think. Right now I have mag in cheap plastic bins from Target inside a couple of Plano Sportsman's Trunk. Works ok but it's a pain in the ass to dig things out sometimes. Thinking of going with the Craftsman tool cabinet for everyday access, with the rest of the mags I don't intend to use right away in the Plano boxes. Of course, for loaded SHTF mags they're in a .50 ammo can. |

Of course, for loaded SHTF mags they're in a .50 ammo can. Excellent ideas. I’ve never considered dedicating an entire tool chest to magazines. It would be extremely handy, rolls around, etc. Drawers make organization a breeze. Also they open easily with heavy, loaded mags. Small drawers up top can house accessories like mag parts, loaders, etc… One con is lack of security. It can be easily rolled away and stollen? But the drawers lock. Now we need to start a thread: How many mags fit in a craftsman tool chest…. |

OP, the FAT 50 is what you seek. The .50 cal cans are too short to store the mags vertically.
