2,300 loose 9mm rounds fit in the 50 cal can. You miscounted the boxes. In reality this is too much weight to effectively deal with if moving the ammo can around frequently.
Thanks, I did realized my boxes miscount after reviewing the video. And yes 2300 loose 9mm rounds in a 50 cal can is a lot of weight. It's only good for stationary long term, semi or permanent ground level storage. For mobility and transport, 30 cal can is manageable or smaller containers.
I'd seriously like to know what is the weight of the full 50 cal, as well as a similar 30 cal can. I'd guess the 50 cal got up to near 40 pounds? I'd guess such a full 30 cal would be about 30 pounds. Ever try to get this thing onto a scale?
I did not have a shipping/industrial scale available at the time I did this and the 30 cal can videos. I may be able to do a cheat scale weight by weighing the empty ammo cans, then weighing an individual 9mm round and multiplying that to the number of rounds. Glad I B+ average in High School lol. I'll post a follow-up comment later this coming week. @@mikem.2078

Hmm. My 50cal cans hold exactly 1000 rounds boxed nice and neat in 4 stacks of 5. I have one of 147gr LAX and one of 115gr capital cartridge from 2A Warehouse.
For bulk, long term storage, unboxed with O2 absorbers & silica packets is the way to go. 30 cal can hold 1000 loose 9mm or 500 loose 5.56. 50 cal can holds 200 2¾ 12 ga shells. If i have some in boxes I'll just use what makes the most sense. That said, i tend to save up & buy bulk, so i don't usually have much boxed. I do keep my preferred plastic carriers around in some of the bigger mortar cans in case i want to sell some or whatever. Those big cans are good for MREs and other essentials too. I have some with food, some with rope, some with tools. If i need to relocate in a hurry i can grab enough to be able to care for us for a good while within about 20 minutes. If we don't have 20 minutes...then there's not a ton to do other than hunker down & prepare for the firefight of our lives.
BPS ammo, the good things are that it's cheap, just for plinkings. It's not reliable with semi-autos. I think it's the inconsistent loads of few rounds. I think the positive thing is that they help you figure out how to clear jams, failure to ejects, stovepipes, etc... lol.
I store a couple boxes and a lot loose. A 50 can weighs 60 #s filled loose and isn't easy to lug around. With a couple boxes that I can grab from it, means I can just grab 100 and go. As seen here,ruclips.net/user/shortsv2RgZ2pSqlM With 2500 rounds that's 52.2 # in the bullets themselves BTW.
Yes, weight is heavy with fully loaded loose ammo rounds in a 50 cal metal ammo can. Ideally that type of storage is meant for stationary storage, not mobility. For grab and go, it's best to keep rounds in boxes of 50-100, then your can grab several boxes and pocket/bag them for on the go.
Other than some of the 22LR and 12GA Shotshells, my other calibers are in their individual boxes. It's easier to keep loads and brands seperated. As for sell or trade, that's a whole other topic lol.
Hard to resale loose ammo without boxes. Most can't afford 2000 or even 1000 once ammo is unable to buy at stores but they will buy a few box's at a time..... when I don't buy to resale ammo they go straight into mags, loose does me no good, ever.
That would be a disaster if one of those boxes was from a bad batch i try to avoid mixing batches of ammo and brand, cans are cheap I've got bad batches before I'd rather buy the extra cans than deal with that
That is a reason also that my rounds are still stored in there appropriated boxes. This video was just for demonstration purpose only. Each brand of boxes was from batches that I got in cases, so hopefully not too messed up.
HAha I did try to pick it up to move it out of the way of my path, and felt like it was cemented to the carpet. After emptying it half way, I was able to remove it, but by that time, my carpet had a flatten compressed rectangle area.
Thanks. After this demonstration purpose video, every individual rounds were returned to their original manufacturers' boxes, and all rounds were not damage or harm.
Nice! Now I'm waiting on the video where you re-pack the individual rounds back into their appropriate boxes!
I already repacked the boxes, but no video, did it over different times lol.

How do you like those BPS rounds ?

I vacuum seal my Ammo and store it in a ammo can .. in a controlled environment 60 to 70 degrees .. it should last forever ..
That's good idea for long term prepping storage, but knowing me, I can't stop touching and rearranging my rounds lol.
I'll be doing that to some of mine.
@@notaprovee😂me too
@@martinestrada8438 Nice! the feeling of ammo in your hands.
And how heavy is that can?
So heavy that it moves me more than I can move it lol.
Ok. I just went to check. I have a 50 cal box. It has loose 9mm ammo in it. It's almost 2,900 rounds.
So you got almost 600 more rounds of 9mm to fit into a 50 cal can? Did you stack it neat and tite?
@@notaprovee nope. Loose.

I think you got yourself "Ammo Crates", not cans, I think which holds 120mm tank ammo lol. The key obstacle is the total weight.

You cannot mix ammo of different manufacturers and expect any degree of accuracy. Dumb move.
