How many rounds of .45 ACP can the MTM AC45P comfortably hold?

The MTM AC45P is specifically dimensioned to hold up to a 500-round bulk case of .45 ACP ammunition. Alternatively, it can accommodate up to four standard boxes of 3-inch 12-gauge shotgun shells alongside a pair of shooting glasses for range days.

Is the O-ring seal waterproof enough for underwater use during outback river crossings?

No, the tongue-and-groove compression O-ring gasket system is engineered for water-resistant dry storage against rain, mud, and dust. The manufacturer explicitly notes that it is non-submersible and should not be used as a waterproof dive box.

Does this polymer ammo can comply with Australian firearm storage regulations for transit?

While the AC45P features dual padlock tabs that satisfy locked-container requirements for ammunition transit and separate storage in many scenarios across Australia, you should always verify compliance against your specific state or territory firearm legislation.

What is the maximum weight load rating and how does it handle heavy reloading components?

The AC45P is rated for a maximum carrying capacity of 20 lbs (9.07 kg), while the empty container itself weighs just 1.1 lbs (0.5 kg). Staying within this 20 lb threshold prevents excessive strain on the heavy-duty mechanical snap latches and polymer hinge pins when transporting dense items like lead reloading components.

.45 Cal Ammo Can - MTM Case-Gard AC45P

The MTM Case-Gard Military Style .45 Caliber Ammo Can (Model AC45 / AC45P) is a heavy-duty polymer storage container designed for storing and transporting bulk ammunition, hunting gear, and reloading components. Manufactured in the USA from high-impact polypropylene plastic, this container provides a rust-proof, lightweight alternative to traditional steel military surplus cans, weighing approximately 0.5 kg (1.1 lbs) when empty. Featuring an O-ring gasket seal and mechanical snap latches, it maintains dry, dust-free interior conditions during field transit and long-term storage.

Key Features

Compression O-Ring Gasket: Utilises a tongue-and-groove compression seal to deliver water-resistant and dust-resistant protection for dry gear storage.
Dual Mechanical Latches: Heavy-duty snap latches distribute uniform clamping pressure across the lid to reduce the risk of accidental opening.
Secure & Stackable: Incorporates dual padlock tabs for security along with molded-in interlocking lid ridges for stable vertical stacking.
Fold-Flat Handle: Integrated heavy-duty carry handle folds flat into the recessed lid to facilitate compact stacking.
Calibre-Specific Capacity: Sized to hold up to a 500-round bulk case of .45 ACP ammunition, or 4 standard boxes of 3-inch 12-gauge shotgun shells alongside safety glasses.

Who is the Mtm Miltary Style 45 Cal Ammo Can Forest Green for?

Pistol shooters transporting .45 ACP ammunition to the range — requires carrying up to a 500-round bulk case of .45 ACP inside compact 10.8″ (L) × 7.375″ (W) × 7.17″ (H) exterior dimensions within a lightweight 0.5 kg polypropylene ammunition storage can.
Hunters needing water-resistant dry storage for loose gear — provides a compression O-ring sealed polypropylene container capable of holding up to 20 lbs of supplies and ammunition protected from rain, spray, and trail dust.
Shooters storing reloading components in humid environments — utilises a sealed polypropylene ammunition storage can with dual padlock tabs to safeguard up to 20 lbs of powders, primers, and unprimed brass against ambient moisture without the risk of steel corrosion.

Less suitable for: Load weights exceeding the 20 lbs (9.07 kg) structural limit, which require larger-format .50-cal utility ammo cases with higher payload ratings, or full underwater submersion, which requires a dedicated, pressure-equalised submersible dive case.
