Battle Packs - the Poor Man's Version

I need to sort and label my cans. Anything could be anywhere. Cans get heavy real quick. There has to be a better way.

30 cal ammo cans are your friend.

You looking for me?

Beetle! Day oh!

the harbor freight ones can be had for cheap too.

Yeah those are plastic fragile flimsy units..

Not ammo cans. Also not as heavy.

I've bought quite a few over the past few months, for reasons. Other than one that was broken from the factory (and I'd missed because I had bought 9 that day) I've had no issues with weight. A few are loaded quite substantially too.

Not military throw 'em around in the truck grade, but they do provide a decent box for storage in cool dry spaces. I would not call them flimsy or fragile, but they are plastic. I prefer the Plano branded ones at Walmart for $4.88.

I'll take airtight to water resistant any day.

I only have two plastic boxes - essentially just used to carry ammo to the range.
They have no value as ammo storage as they are not air tight.

The Plano ones will bow out the bottom if you load them up with enough ammo. Haven't had one burst yet though.

I filled one of the HF ones with 230gr .45ACP (at least 600 rounds) and it didn't have any issues. Definitely heavy though.
