MTM ACR8-72 Ammo Crate Utility Box
3.2/5 Best Safe Score (how we score)
I picked this large stackable polypropylene crate for bulk storage because it holds boxed ammo for several calibers in one liftable unit. It uses MTM's tongue-and-groove O-ring seal and double padlock tabs, so I'd put it on a closet or garage shelf rather than take it to the range.

Who it's for
- Best for bulk storage in Best Ammo Can – 3 Picks for Bulk, Budget and Steel Storage: For someone keeping a few hundred to a couple thousand rounds of boxed rifle or pistol ammo organized in a closet or garage; the padlock tabs are plastic, so it deters casual access rather than theft, and a full crate is heavy to lift.
What we like
- Interior 14 x 13.5 x 7.25 in holds many boxes in one stack-ready unit (MTM)
- O-ring seal, two latches, double padlock tabs and four tie-down points
- Made in the USA from high-impact polypropylene
What to know first
- Water-resistant, not submersible; some owners say the lid is too flexible to seal tightly
- Handles and plastic latches can crack if a heavily loaded crate is dropped or carried hard
