I use ammo cans from Cabela's. They are larger than 50 caliber cans. And they are pretty heavy when full. But they are plenty sturdy and work out pretty well for where I store ammunition.

^Ditto on this^
I also use the Cabela's boxes labeled for: .22LR/.9mm/.38 spl & .357 also by brand/description rnd/hp.
For all other misc. shotgun/centerfire ammo I use heavy duty plastic tool boxes w/trays and sealed lids picked up on sale at various places.

Those are plastic not near as good as the metal GI boxes !!

Hum, now you got me to wondering and fretting over why ammo is shipped in plastic trays rather than metal......

I just stumbled across an old invoice from Cabela's where I bought mine and at the time they were $8.99 each, should've bought more

I use plastic containers for ALL my ammunition, and have for decades -- I mean things like plastic shoe boxes, and bins of various sorts.......

I started to go to HF yesterday and pick up some 50 cal. cans on sale but was in $Genl. and picked up 2 snap lid sealed storage containers for less than half the price which held all the bricks of Federal AM & CCI SV with some silica packs. They have a larger one and I'll measure to see if the 19 bricks of Norma Tac22 will fit in it.

I've bought a lot of my plastic storage boxes from DG, but their offerings got really thin during the COVID effects. They're partly back now, but not all the way. My other primary source for those types of containers is Walmart -- which is often better than DG, depending on what size/type of container you're looking for.

You're right and WM is where some of mine came from but the closest is a 40 mile round trip, so is HF. I only use them for the faster turn over ammo rather than long term storage, for that it's definitely the heavier duty stackable containers.
