Seems like the heaviest .50 cal cans I have are always the .40 cal & 7.62x.39!

I prefer WWII 50 cal ammo boxes. They hold a lot and can be stacked, not to mention the astatic value.

My wife dispatched me to Costco to pick up some (24) of their 27 gal. storage bins. I spotted a few of the ammo can type boxes and trays and bought 2, 4 packs. I’m going to try to organize my gun stuff. Grips in one, spare mags. in another.
OP
The ones at my local HF were “made in Vietnam”. Some of those I inspected look “used “ but re-painted. Probably just refinished the ammo cans we left behind……..
I ordered some of those MTM trays after seeing your post. It did free-up a little much needed floorspace. Thanks!I use and really like the trays that fit the 30 cal and 50 cal USGI ammo boxes.
A friend of mine was looking at my new ammo can trays and said, "If you ever need help moving those, I'm busy".

A bit of topic, but, I went dumpster diving at a deceased neighbors house tha was being emptied a rescues a metal .50 cal ammo can. It has the flaming bomb embossed on it. The odd thing to me is the lid hinge is on the long side of the can instead of the short side or end. When did the switch types?

If anyone is still interested Costco had a fresh supply of these yesterday for $19.95. I picked up 2 more sets.
I picked up two sets today. I am in the process of filing two of the boxes with partial boxes of 9mm HP ammo I have acquired over the last few years. I also have probably a full ammo box of 44 spec. These things will fill up pretty fast I'll bet. Thanks for letting u know about this sale

You just overloaded it. Just because 1000 .44 Magnum 240 grain LSWC rounds fit in it you do not have to fill it.
How's moisture incursion on these? I use silica packets that change color when saturated. A set of old plastic cans I had a few years ago would cause the packets to change color within two weeks. I've been using the USGI style metal ammo cans since and they're dry as can be inside.
