Maybe for the gun shows around you, me those metal ammo cans are $10 after an $8 entry fee and an hour drive.
I like the Plano and MTM plastic containers (I also don't like calling them cans, they're not) and haven't had issues with them busting. Have a Plano I've had for 7+ years packed with 762x39, moved many times, and it's as good as the day I bought it.
