You can see one of my rows has 6 USGI Mags (3 with black, 3 with OD Green Ranger plates) and one Pmag in the middle of them. So you can easily put 4 rows of 7 + 2 more on the end turned sideways. 
My FAT 50 holds 21 PMAGS + 6 USGI Mags - all with Ranger plates. 810 rounds of Ammo easily carried.

Is a Fat50 and a SAW can the same thing?
Then a tall 50 is ? A different animal? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DOG556: Is a Fat50 and a SAW can the same thing? Then a tall 50 is ? A different animal? A tall .50 has the same footprint as a regular M2A1 50 cal can, but is 10" tall. They are also called N463 boxes and/or Fuse boxes. A fat .50 or SAW can is an inch greater in every dimension than a regular M2A1 can, since it is designed to hold 4 200rd magazines for the M249 SAW |

For comparison's sake, if you use a "short" 50 cal can you can get the following:
20x 30Rd mags if some have Ranger plates (right), or 22x 30Rd mags if they don't have Ranger plates (left) 
Or if you use a MTM 50 cal magazine can, you can get 15x 30Rd mags in it. Lots of waster space in these.

The large Plano box will hold 25 PMAGs in the wrappers if you stack them right.

I know it isn't the answer you asked for, but incase you or others are looking for other options....ammo cans I quickly learned work well for me for ammo but NOT for mags. You just can't store enough mags in them. I use these large MTM "Ammo" crates for my mag storage...they are stackable..and they hold lots of mags :)

I wish there was a can that's as tall as the "Fat .50" , but same width as the standard .50.
I don't know how you guys store your magazines vertically in the regular 50. Mine seems to press right against the corner of the magazine when shut. I don't like that since it could damage the feeding lip area. |

It's about an inch and half taller than a "Fat 50", and 3" taller than, but with the same footprint as, the regular USGI 50 cal can. The Tall .50 gives me comfortable room for (24) 30rd mags w/ Magpul L Plates installed and standing on end, 4 more of those laying flat on top, and then (2) 20rd mags to fill the void:  Google "N463 box" and you'll find https://synergydefence.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1715 saying they have 385 such cans in stock at $19.95/ea. |

Yeah, I have some fuse cans too. It's too tall for my liking. 24 magazines is perfect for my situation. So now I have 3" wasted space per can that I would rather use for other things....

Actually 28 PMAGs will fit nicely in the Fat50.
photo credit @BurntEnds I think you can throw a couple more on top also. So w/+2 that makes nice use of those 900ct bulk packs. |

I got a comfortable 14 in a regular 50 can. Cut up some cardboard and foam to use as fill and protect the feed lips.
Could have put some more in there but it would have been a tight fit. Also 14 is a nice even two combat loads. |

Yeah, even before the COVID-19-induced run on gear, they were getting expensive on Amazon for some reason. I bought several of the large ACR8 Ammo Crates from Amazon over the past few years for around $15-$18, and about 6 months ago, they started going up in price, now averaging about $35. I was able to pick up two at my local Sportsman's Warehouse a couple months ago for $12 each and two at a show recently for $15 each. They are my preferred storage box - I find the size just right for holding a good amount of gear without being too heavy to make them a hassle to move around. |

They are my preferred storage box - I find the size just right for holding a good amount of gear without being too heavy to make them a hassle to move around. I have a couple of the ACR8-72 crates. They were about $18 each when I got them. I saw they are now $39. That's a huge price jump. Amazon used to sell the AR-15 mag box, the dark earth one that holds 15 mags. I was looking to pick up another one and Amazon stopped selling them. MTM still makes them as far as I can tell, so I don't know what's up with that. MTM also makes ammo boxes. I've bought over a dozen of the 5.56 boxes. They are now listed as no longer available. Same for the ACR-12. I suspect that most of what MTM sells is made in China and there's been no production there for a few months. So, they are running out of inventory. The AR-15 mag box has not been available since last Fall, so I don't know what the story is behind that. I'm glad I stocked up when they were still available and priced low. |
