Cheaper alternative to ammo cans?

[captaincarl]

Costco has a set (50 and 30 cans) for less than $20

I have about 40 30cals for $10 a piece, my 50 Cals are $15, have about 11 different sizes. Tomorrow will be my last day out until December.

30 cal $10, 50 Cal $15

I won't be able to make it until December, but I'll surely come by. How late do you hang around Sundays?

+2.......Why would you risk ur ammo in 5 gallon plastic pails? I have several 30 cal and 50 cal. The 20mm can is HUGE. $20 on line + shipping.
My 30 and 50 cans were under water in Isaac....not a single drop leak.

I use to come to the old Albertsons corner on Range and Florida but they reopened. If someone can give me a good place to set up, I would do it once a month. I really did well out there. Sold out twice. Call or ext 225-721-1813. I am on Hwy 61 today until 3

I use plastic coffee cans. They work great for storage.

There is a farmers market on Florida Blvd across from the Tractor Supply next to Denham Patty every Saturday. Maybe you could set up there.

Problem with plastic bins are when it's full, it cannot support the weight or if I can, can also break on a drop.

Had a plastic bucket for my scrap brass from reloading. Went to move it to take to the recycling place. Bottom fell out and 4 gallons of primers, 22LR cases and scrap brass went all over the garage. Homey was not happy. Still finding remnants a year later.

Similar experience. Gustav had a tree crush the house. Reloading area in the garage where the ammo was stored took a direct hit. Ammo in USGI cans survived with not a single drop of water. Some of those cans looked like a truck drug them down the road on a chain and still did the job.

What I have done for my SHTF, zombie, EMP, Hillary gets elected ammo is to vacuum seal it. If nothing else to keep whatever environmental effects from affecting it long term. Dropped that in 50cal ammo cans and it will be good long after the estate sale.
