MTM Case-Gard AC1540 Mini Multi-Caliber Ammo Can - Black Polypropylene

The MTM Case-Gard AC1540 Mini Multi-Caliber Ammo Can is a compact, durable storage solution built for shooters who need reliable dry storage without the bulk of full-size ammunition containers. This mini ammo can strikes a practical balance: small enough to grab and go, yet spacious enough to hold serious volume—up to 700 rounds of 9mm bulk ammo, 400 rounds of .45 ACP or .223, or other caliber loads depending on packaging. Whether you're organizing handgun rounds at the range, stashing emergency supplies, or protecting gear from moisture, this polypropylene can delivers the rugged functionality MTM is known for.

Built from heavy-duty molded polypropylene plastic, the AC1540 resists weather and wear for years of reliable service. The water-resistant O-ring seal system keeps contents dry during storage and transport—though note it's water-resistant rather than fully submersible. A strong carry handle and dual padlock tabs let you secure your ammo and transport it safely. Molded stacking ridges make it easy to organize multiple cans, and the robust latching mechanism creates a solid, confident seal every time. Made in the USA, this is the kind of straightforward, unfussy storage you can count on whether you're at the range, in camp, or managing a home ammo library.

At 8.4" × 4.4" × 6.8" outside, the mini can fits vehicle door pockets, range bags, and gear closets without dominating space. Its 12-pound carry capacity means you can load it up and move it easily—one of the real advantages of the mini size over larger ammo storage. Shooters, preppers, boaters, and anyone who values organized, protected storage of ammunition and small valuables will find this a dependable choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much ammo does the MTM AC1540 mini ammo can actually hold?

Capacity depends on the caliber and how the ammo is packaged. The can holds up to 700 rounds of 9mm bulk ammo, 400 rounds of .45 ACP bulk ammo, 400 rounds of .223 bulk ammo, 100 rounds of boxed 28-gauge or .410 shotgun, or about 60 rounds of 12-gauge 2¾" bulk ammo. Boxed ammunition will take up more space than loose rounds.

Is this ammo can waterproof?

The AC1540 features a water-resistant O-ring seal that keeps moisture out during normal storage and transport. However, MTM specifies it is water-resistant, not fully waterproof or submersible, so it's best used for dry storage rather than submerged conditions.

Can I stack multiple mini ammo cans together?

Yes. The AC1540 has molded stacking ridges designed to allow multiple cans to nest securely together, making it easy to organize and store several cans without them sliding around.

What's included with the can, and can I lock it?

The can comes ready to use with a strong carry handle, heavy-duty latch, and dual padlock tabs so you can secure it with your own padlock for added security and transport safety.
