Anyone's range have scrap live round boxes/cans? If so, how about posting a pic of them and how they're mounted.
I'm looking for something like a coffee can that can be installed on a metal fence post. Also need a way that it can easily be dumped.
Thanks in advance.

I'm thinking an old cigarette butt disposal can
maybe like http://www.belson.com/vcad.htm, there have to be some used ones on ebay or somewhere local.

My home range uses ammo cans with holes drilled on top for various calibers.

Our club uses a lockable "fire cabinet" (to keep the curious hands of the young'ns away from live rounds). It is probably 18x18x36(T) in.
There is a 3 or 4 inch PVC pipe on top that acts as the input hole. There is a 90d elbow on top of the pipe, to help keep water out. It looks like a periscope.

I was at a range recently that the live round box mounted to the Safe Table.......yep, I meant to go back and get a picture of it, but I forgot to. Paint them red and mount them in the bays/lines, but not at the safe table.

One range I went to has a small metal box that is mounted to a magnet on the wall. the range uses the magnet to test for "steel core" ammo and it also holds the live round box too! 
To empty it, you slide it off the magnet, dump it, and then stick it back on the magnet. Simple and effective.
