Best / cheapest source of 30 caliber ammo cans ???

[Magnum Wheel Man]

you guys know a good source for 30 cal Mil ammo cans ( empty ) ???

I just built a newer walk in gun safe / room (s), & I built some ammo storage benches in the room for storing ammo... I reload for close to 70 calibers, & I built the storage benches around the 30 cal cans... one for loaded ammo, one for empty cases for all my guns... I had several, but that supply dried up right away... I ordered 12 off Evil Bay, & that disappeared in 10 mintes ( as I had the ammo & cases waiting on my bench ) I just ordered a lot of 16 cans, & still need alot more... shipping adds up pretty fast, as does the cost of the cans... wondering if anyone knows where I could get a wrapped pallets worth, if I had extras, I could just sell them at the local gun show... it would be great if they were in MN or IA, & I could pick them up to save on shipping

any eye deers ???

If you need that many...

Your friends won't be angry if they get your extras for Christmas either.

AWESOME... thanks for the link... the only 30 cal cans I saw, were 2 pallets of them ( way more than I need )

Well the big thing is location as they more or less don't ship. i am close to an airforce base, so i just have to wait until they come up.

Sounds like you need 140 for 70 calibers. If you can get 300 @ $5 I am sure you can find someone to take the others pretty cheap.

They do have a retail site also.

thanks for the retail link as well... number needed ??? I already had 15-20... 30 caliber cans, & about as many 50 cal cans... right now I've moved all my bullets along the wall & put them in 50 cal cans ( & I'm a few short, but don't plan on keeping them permanently in the 50 cal cans ), waiting for a better place, I bought 12, & then later 16... 30 cal cans off evil bay so far, so I may already have 1/3 to 1/2 of what I need total... I haven't done the Contenders yet... there is a lot of cartridge variety, but I don't think I should really need more than one can each for loaded rounds & brass together ??? may have to have 2 on some that require forming of cases, from odd ball stuff, just to have a supply

if I made the trip to my brothers ( nothing planned soon anyway ) I could probably plan a stop in OK on the way... just don't know if I'm patient enough... once I start something, I like to keep at it, before another emergency pops up, & steals me away

I've never bought from this group before. In fact I found it after you asked by google and a link on another forum. I have looked at it a lot over the last few days. I have already set-up a group buy on ammo cans if they end up less than $5.

Working on another for pack frames and packs.

All kinds of surplus.
