Can I use the MTM AC50C-25 ammo can to meet Australian state storage regulations for transit to the range?

Yes. Under Australian state and territory firearms legislation, ammunition must generally be stored in a locked container separate from firearms. When secured with padlocks using the integrated dual tabs, this ammo can serves as a compliant locked transit and storage container for the shooting range or hunting field.

Is the MTM 50 Cal Ammo Can fully waterproof for river crossings or heavy outback downpours?

No, this model features a synthetic O-ring tongue-and-groove seal designed for robust splash, rain, and dust resistance, but it is explicitly non-submersible. For complete immersion protection, a pressure-equalised IP67-rated hard case should be used instead.

What is the maximum weight capacity, and how does it compare to a standard steel .50 cal can?

The AC50C-25 is rated for a maximum carry capacity of 30 lbs (13.6 kg) and has internal dimensions of 11.0" L x 5.8" W x 7.2" H. Crafted from high-impact polypropylene, it weighs approximately 1.0 lb empty, making it about half the weight of a standard US military steel can while easily accommodating bulk factory ammunition or range gear.

How can I organise multiple calibres effectively using this purple ammo can alongside other MTM range gear?

The bright purple finish provides high-visibility gear identification and allows you to easily segregate specific calibres in your vehicle or safe. For pistol shooters pairing this with other gear, it complements items like the MTM Single Handgun Case or the Mtm Case-Gard Ar9m Ammo Rack for structured range organisation.

50 Cal Ammo Can - MTM Case-Gard AC50C-25

The MTM Case-Gard 50 Caliber Ammo Can (AC50C-25) in purple is a high-impact polypropylene dry utility box designed to store and transport factory-boxed or loose ammunition, field gear, and electronics. Made in the USA, this lightweight container weighs approximately 1.0 lb (0.45 kg) empty—around half the weight of a standard steel US GI .50 cal can—while offering a rated load capacity of up to 30 lbs (13.6 kg). Featuring moulded stacking ridges and an O-ring weather seal, it protects sensitive contents from ambient moisture and dust during transit and storage.

Key Features

Dual Latching System: Heavy-duty mechanical dual latches provide positive closure, preventing accidental opening under heavy loads.
Weather-Resistant O-Ring Seal: Built with a tongue-and-groove lid profile fitted with a synthetic rubber O-ring to keep out dust, splash water, and field debris.
Padlock Security Tabs: Integrated dual padlock tabs allow the box to be locked for secure ammunition transport under Australian state firearm transit requirements.
Stackable Base Design: Moulded lid ridges mate securely with the base of matching cans for vertical stacking in gun safes, vehicles, or workshop shelving.
High-Visibility Colour: The distinctive purple polypropylene finish facilitates quick visual calibre categorisation and gear identification.

Who is the MTM 50 Cal Ammo Can Purple for?

Range shooters organising bulk ammunition by calibre — features a dedicated 11.0" L x 5.8" W x 7.2" H internal storage compartment that holds loose or boxed cartridges in a colour-coded polypropylene 50 cal ammo can for fast identification on the firing line.
Hunters storing dry field accessories and electronics — uses a synthetic O-ring seal and an empty weight of just 1.0 lb to transport sensitive equipment without adding unnecessary bulk to a field kit.
Shooters seeking lockable transit containers for state compliance — provides dual moulded padlock tabs alongside a certified 30 lbs carry capacity to keep ammunition securely locked during vehicle transit in line with state regulations.

Less suitable for: Loads exceeding 30 lbs (which require heavy-gauge steel ammo cans or reinforced utility crates) or complete water submersion requiring an IP67/IP68-rated pressure-equalised hard case, as this unit is water-resistant rather than fully submersible.
