    Did MTM just do a big dump of their zombie cans this side of the world prob cause they can't ship them up north ..?
    With the amount I saw around the place they must have been going cheap, but the retail prices on them too high for me.
    Some places got them for round $26 bucks, I would be happy to pay $9.99 for them
    They bombed them out in the US a while ago for $8.99
    I have 1/2 dozen of them I got in an order late last year

    I struggled to find some after i worked out what i needed, its good to know more are available now, just need some coin!!!!!

    i got 8 of the 50 cal in green, but at $25 each. plus i brought a 40gm rechargeable silica box for each one, it was a big expense, but then ammo, is not cheap, so it is worth looking after.

    still need about 4 more, maybe more if i kept primers and powder in them as well.

    I use a 25l bin from the Warehouse. Carries everything for the range/comp in one container, easy to store, carry and keeps the water out. Can't store ammo in it, that stores on the shelves in the gunsafe. But then the Zombie ammo containers are plastic, plastic hinge and lip and could be broken open by an angry child. I have one due to a stupid spur of the moment purchase.
