    These are $35 shipped from Amazon. I have a set and they've held up well so far.
    Disclosure- these are good for climate controlled storage and range trips. Not suited for backyard bury ;)

    Got some of these also. They have a inside gasket but made for above ground storage.
    I have six stacked on top of each other. --- SAWMAN

    Seen a table at the gunshow that had these. About the same price also.
    MTM offers several different sizes of these.
    You can load all 4 up pretty heavy and the tray will not bend or fold when picking it up. I have yet to have a lid open when fully loaded with loose rds either.
    They stack great also. ---- SAWMAN

    I destroyed one of these plastic cans using it as a tool box. I got it for free, so it was torture test time. It was in the cold and heat, open air elements. Used it for holding rags soaked in brake cleaner and hydraulic oil and hand tools for changing buckets. It didnt last a month. And I mean it just disintegrated, like it was made out of cardboard. Replaced it with steel, never looked back. Steel cans have been tested now for like a hundred years and are still going strong. The oils, if anything, help a steel can. Spend the extra couple bucks and get a steel can for the long term. I would love to see a long term study as to what CLP or Hoppes might do to one of these plastic POS's.

    That being said, I see the benefits of plastic versus steel if you're in a saltwater environment. The US Navy answered this with aluminum cans for flares and aluminum powder kegs. Good for not rusting in a salt air environment but was probably more for not creating a spark than anything else

    Yeah not sure what's up with that, maybe it's an Amazon thing. Other site links work fine.
