Is this a good storage can for 12 gauge shot gun ammo?

Yes it'll work well, its nice and deep too, i can fit 51 boxes of 7.62x39, and I was able to fit 10 fifteen round boxes and 2 five round boxes of Winchester Super X 00buck, but you may be able to tetris the boxes inside better then me. On the picture it shows one lock, but you can actually lock the other side too. So far its nice and sturdy, I have 3, they stack well too because they have these little lips on each corner that allows for it, and the handle is comfortable as well for a heavier load. I wouldnt try to take it in the field like a metal can though, obviously plastic isnt as strong and dropping it out of the back of your truck would probably not end well for the can, but for storage, or to take to the range, it works very well for the price. Buy one and check it out, you'll like it.

From my estimates, using a box of 12guage, if you get rid of the boxes, you can get roughly 225-250 stacked. The boxes are about 7 shells wide, by 4.5 shells long, with about 7-8 layers deep, excluding space in the lid. Hope that helps.

The box is good for storage of any kind of ammo and just about anything else small in size. I have 3 now, I use one for 9mm, another for shotgun, and the last for random ammo and my cleaning kit.

Decent for boxes of 5 but better for loose ammo. Boxes of 25 don't fit well with out a lot of dead space

Depending on the size of your weapon, however, I would say 99% of instances you would be fine. This safe is large enough (especially if you remove the internal shelving) that you shouldn't be running into any problems. I store 2 weapons with ammunition without a problem. I would strongly recommend getting a silica gel absorption packet or one of the tons you can recharge in the oven to leave in there, otherwise you can start to accumulate small amounts of rust on your weapon.

Yes. Of course, if its only medication being stored I would get something a little smaller and cheaper. Unless you are storing A LOT of medication, or other items aswell. I use it for firearms and it easily holds 3 handguns and over 1,000 rounds of ammo.

Most definitely! A couple of questions, what in all are you looking to store? And does this include your weapon/weapons? And the next question is are they long guns or handguns? The best option is to buy a gun safe large enough to accommodate your weapons accessories as well as ammunition. But locked hard cases are also a good option

The cans are larger and have good capacity. I have no idea how much the straw cans really hold because I was never able to get all out of a can before it went hard. The Pro stuff works great and goes a long way. Properly store gun and can and it is usable over and over.......for months.

Because of your question I went and checked. The one I received worked ideally for 12 gauge. The holder grips the shell body securely and it does not go past the brass case head. I removed the 12 gauge shells from the holder and let the grips "relax" for a few minutes before I dropped in the 20's. I observed that the 20 gauge shells fall right through the holders but catch the lip of the case head and goes no further. I pushed the 20 gauge shells about 1/4 inch deeper into the holder and got a secure register with the case head lip. I gave the gun a good shake side to side and the shells remained in place. In a pinch it will hold 20 gauge shells, just not as snug as the 12's. Just my opinion. Because of your question I went and checked. The one I received worked ideally for 12 gauge.

I put around 100 12 gauge in one of my zombie ammo cans. It was heavy but no problem for the can. Also I stacked them on the side rotating the primer at opposite ends right out of the box.

It might be a good bag for ammo, cleaning gear, and small weapons. It's not designed for that purpose, but it is sturdy.

Should be able to store rifle and flashlight. Unless it is humungous. I use three of these cases and they are quite flexible and spacious. I like them a lot.

I wouldn't get it for that. It's more of a storage space for bb's. Kind of slow for pouring and the plastic breaks easy.

Tough to say. I have it mounted on a mini 14. It has held zero through about 200 rounds. But a 12 gauge hits a lot harder. For the price it's worth a shot....
1236658
yes your good with that... I have my 30.06 in it and my ar15 with all tactical stuff on both of them... and have lots of room left on the end for mags to lay in there... really large case and the only one I found that will hold two guns with scopes grips and all.... great price too. you wont go wrong with this one.

Can't say on a 12 gauge for sure. I use on a 5.56 AR and its held zero just fine through many many mags. Also, for the money, even with the brightness on 1 you can point directly at the sun without washout of the reticle

It has to be. I took my Browning BLR and my Glock in it on Alaska Airlines from Oakland to Anchorage and it was taken the the head baggage handler and after looking at the three padlocks (keyed alike) that I had on it and the sturdy construction of the case, he didn't even ask to have it opened. Although the airline regs say to keep your ammo in factory boxes, plastic boxes made for ammo are ok too.

It's gonna be loose with .223. But the pouch has alotta space. I just took out the stitching between so it holds two 10 rd .17HMR mags on the side. Or u could double stitch the 12 gauge one

I frankly don't know. i haven't had experience with those. I can tell you that i am using mine for 38 caliber Plus P ammo and still have space left over. I hope this helps.

Yes and No... It definately can hold your pistol on its own shelf and a few hundred rounds of ammo. The only problem I see is ease of access... The dial takes time to "dial in", and would be impossible at night (or high stress situation). If you are going to store your main means of home defense, I would go with a different safe (maybe the same model but the back-lit number key style). Just my opinion.
