I use 30's, 50's, fat 50's, 20mm and the plastic almost 30's from MTM that come with a carrier. The MTM ones are convient when hitting tue range.

I think budsgunshop.com has some of the best prices on cans....

On sale being the key word for any place you buy them..... or free shipping.

Academy usually has metal 50 cal cans on Black Friday sale for 10 bucks each. I've not confirmed they have them this year but they have for the passed many years. I've got a few dozen of them and think they are just as good as the mil-surp that I have. Amazon also has the plastic MTM 3 50 cal and 4 30 cal ammo can and crate deal right now. The 30 cal is $30.00 and the 50 cal is $34.99. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...KIKX0DER&psc=1

Definitely get metal. Check your local Walmart. They sell them for $13 (regular price) around here. Had them marked down to $9 for a while.

Apex has 30cal for $7 right now.

How many rds of which load will you stockpile ?? Think . . . what size can,stacked how in can,will hold the most ammo.
Remember weight. A 30cal can stack properly will be heavy. Close to 40lbs. A 20mm can will be unliftable.
Buy when cheap. Stock it deep. If you don't shoot it,you can sell it or trade it. It will never be as cheap as it is today. --- SAWMAN
