Ammo Can Prices

I have fat fiftys for 15 and standard fiftys for 10.After shipping ?????Doubt if you will save anything.

30's and 50's are quite right for me.

One thing I learned the hard way. The bigger the box, the more you can fit inside. The more inside the more difficult it is to handle and the heavier that SOB is to carry!

Youre absolutely right, JB. I move around frequently, and carry my reloading stuff with me. Those cans come in handy, but they can be challenging to an old man who carries bullet casting lead in them. Empty shell cases and other stuff is easier, of course.

They probably don't reuse the cans because each one would have to be inspected for defects, rebuilt as necessary, repainted, repacked and reissued. Probably costs more to do this than to make new ones.

Ammo cans get reused all the time for non ammunition items like fuses, flares, etc as long as they pass inspection. I've seen cans repainted with new ammo nomenclature for reissued ammo like WW2 .50 used for range fire. It doesn't make sense to ship cans back from overseas, they are too bulky and they take up too much space. Cheaper to dump 'em.

Try AmmoCans.net. They have some in stock right now, but not for long the way things are going right now!

You guys want any? I have a couple thousand for sale.

Bill, thats mighty nice of you to offer to sell us your ammo cans.... I don't suppose that they come fully loaded with ammo at 2005 year prices????
