I was looking to buy some ammo cans for storage and found some 30 caliber cans that are just a little smaller than 50 caliber cans. Has anyone used these and how much 223 can you get into one.
Thanks CHZ |

I have a couple of 30s and they work well also have 3 50cal cans.I just put 24 boxes of wolf ammo in one 30cal can.I use the 50s for my reloads of 223 and 45.Both have their advantages.

I store my long term stuff in the 50's, but they are to heavy to crate, so
I usually take a 30 to the range. {Please No Snow Tomorrow, I need range time.} |

I picked up some .50 sized cans at a recent gun show which are marked 840 CTRG 5.56MM BALL M855 10 RND CLIPS so some of those big cans are really .223 cans. I have some 30 and some 50 sized cans-whatever I could find cheap in good shape at gun shows. They both work fine-just look for cans in good shape with good seals.

Thanks for the input. I found a place on the web that has ammo cans new and used. The new 30 cal cans are $6.95. I have seen plenty of beat up 50's for that much.

I get my 9mm from [url]http://www.georgia-arms.com/[/url] It's factory reloads and comes in an ammo can 1000 rounds for $130. I'm on my third case and love it. I don't buy ammo cans anymore.
Look under canned heat. [:D] |
