Wholesale ammo can FAQs
What’s the minimum order?
It depends on how you buy: one case (6 × 50 cal or 8 × 30 cal), one pallet (126 × 50 cal or 168 × 30 cal), a factory order of about 1,000 cans, or a full container. We confirm availability on your written quote.

Can I mix sizes and colors?
Each pallet is one size and one color, and you can mix sizes and colors across pallets. For factory and container orders, list your mix on the quote request and we confirm it on your written quote.
Which colors are available?
Matte Black, OD Green and Brown. Colors subject to stock; we confirm availability on your quote.
What’s the price per can?
We quote every wholesale order, because price depends on size, color, quantity and order type. Request a quote and we send a written quote. Freight is quoted separately; case shipping is quoted per order.
Do you take container orders?
Yes. Container orders are quoted on request and take 90–120 days from deposit; we confirm timing on your quote.
How long does delivery take?
Factory orders of about 1,000 cans and container orders take 90–120 days from deposit; we confirm timing on your quote. For cases and pallets, request a quote; we confirm availability and timing on your written quote.

New vs surplus: what’s the difference?
New production means consistent new stock, fresh gaskets and a uniform look across the order, with no grading lottery and no cleaning before you can sell.
