Yeah I need to go from like 200lbs and down. With my spam can gone i still got lots to unload.

 

[Podmonkey]

What about differences in packaging? I just count by the case. 1,2,3 500 round cases=1500 rounds.

 

[Deplorable Me]

Forking ammo hoarders.

 

[GOPerfect]

I count boxes and cases by number and all loose by weight. I figured all the weights I needed years ago. Good thing to post and good information to have.

 

[Marine Cpl]

Pounds matter. A 300 round loadout in .308 vs .223 is almost 8 pounds. That's more than the weight of another AR.

 

[spat]

I keep my long term storage in ammo cans with totals written on them. Once they're open I just figure the contents as "petty cash" and don't worry about the details.

Riddle me this: 2,200 rounds and 190 lbs... what did the brown truck bring yesterday?

That much weight per round, must be big, 50 BMG LOL

I want enough ammo stashed that I can refer to it as my "nest egg".

We should get ammo made tax free like a 401K

I know. I'm just clowning with the guy.

Nah, just 308. Difference must be the packaging: 50 cal cans and cardboard boxes.

Zebras

Yea heavy packed 308 for sure then.

I know, just loose bullets for .50 is heavier than that (2200 647gr projectiles alone is more than 200lbs)
