Plano Field Ammo Box
2.8/5 Best Safe Score (how we score)
My budget pick, the small .30-caliber-size Plano Element-Proof Field/Ammo Box (131200, sold as the 1312), holds six to eight boxes of ammo in a light plastic shell with an O-ring seal and a brass-bailed latch. I picked it as the cheapest way here to get ammo off a shelf and to the range.

Who it's for
- Best budget in Best Ammo Can – 3 Picks for Bulk, Budget and Steel Storage: For a new shooter or someone moving a few boxes of ammo to the range or a truck; it is plastic with a single padlock tab, so it is organization and moisture protection, not security, and it is small for bulk storage.
What we like
- Interior about 9.5 x 4.25 x 6.5 in holds 6 to 8 boxes of .30-caliber-size ammo (retail listings)
- Water-resistant O-ring seal, brass-bailed snap latch and a padlock tab
- Very light and stackable with a comfortable handle
What to know first
- Plastic lid and walls can flex, so the seal is only water-resistant
- Small capacity and one padlock tab; it can be pried open
