How much 9mm fits in an AMMO CAN? Surprisingly HEAVY

[@GuardianCraft1]

I went the bare ammo way and have recently gone back to the boxes. Smaller 50ct boxes (norma, magtech, fiochi) give me easily 1k per 50cal can with a couple 100+ more. Reason for switching back was after taking a coupe ranges classes and getting miss fires I had no freaking way to know which ones they were. So back to the boxes so I can identify them. And don’t forget the silica packs!

[@andrewmconrad]

Good point. I did think about that

[@GainsMarathon]

Great point. I have the majority of my ammo stored loosely but came across a post somewhere stating there were recalls on some Sig ammo. When I read that, I thought to myself how would I know which ammo is actually recalled if I store all mine loosely so I started going back to storing in boxes as well. But, I also store ammo in multiple mags so I am kind of in the same boat there as well.

[@tibzig1]

I do the same. Another reason for keeping them in their original boxes: If you need to sell some in the future. Just be liberal with the desiccant!

[@dirtmcgirt7125]

I either store my ammo in factory boxes or loosely in cans ONLY from the same production lot no.

[@laurenmoscato4395]

You can identify which bullet is which by looking at the back. That’s how I found out by my instructor. How many boxes do you have?

[@marktownsend8187]

Why is it so satisfying to watch an ammo can get filled? Lol Good video

[@andrewmconrad]

It was extremely satisfying on mt end as well 😁

[@helidude3502]

Because we don’t have to do it ourselves to get the information. We can also do our own videos of different calibers and report the variables. While the round count will vary by caliber, I presume the weights will be similar.. I’m curious of the round count and weight of 22lr packed this way myself. Thank you, Andrew

I store my 9mm, .223 and 5.56mm just like this with a few moisture absorbing packets. I have for years with no problems. I have a 34 gun safe just for Ammo, Magazines and Accessories.

[@ngraves1002]

I store my 9mm in a 50cal can. 2000 per can, 200 per quart ziplock bag, then all 10 bags in another 2.5 gallon bag that fits nice in the 50cal can. Triple sealed ammo when done.

[@KandaJE]

I got a couple of those big 50 cal cans maybe 20 years ago. Repainted and banged out the dings. I use then by just putting the cardboard boxes in. Other ammo I use smaller plastic cans. While cleaning out dad's basement years ago, I found a bunch of smaller 30 cal cans. So yeah, those too... I much prefer the smaller plastic cans to the used huge military metal recycles. Especially the Zombie cans. I use two of those for my collection of .22 LR.

[@DJAlup]

Interesting, i figured out i could store about 1300 rounds in one. its pretty funny that others have also come to this conclusion. I have a can full of blazer 9mm and it is all loose. side rant, why does blazer use such stupidly large boxes? like what is the point?

[@GypsyMoFoJoe]

For quality control lot numbers I prefer boxed stored inside the ammo cans

[@traderpete007]

It’s just so much more satisfying to get sweet deals on bulk ammo and buy enough for practicing for the next 6 months. It drives you to practice more and saves a ton of cash.

[@carlitosantiago4893]

You should get a couple of those plastic cases used for reloads. That way you can keep track of how many you have shot plus you don’t need to haul 60 lbs when you go to the range. I like keeping track of what I am shooting just in case I get a bad batch. I recently got a box of Fiocchi that were not sized correctly and jammed my wife’s carry. I took pictures and contacted Fiocchi and they sent me 150 rounds of replacements.

[@andrewmconrad]

Good thinking. The bad batch thing did cross my mind

[@granddad-mv5ef]

Andrew, I began stocking my .45ACP in surplus 50 cal cans four years ago, soon after that 9mm. Now all my ammo is in cans, I even have range cans full of charged mags for whatever I will be shooting. BTW, if you think that 9 is heavy--I have a loaded-to-the-limit .45 can and I am getting too old to lift it. LOL. Now I have a fairly good idea how much 9mm I have. Never enough!

Glad to see you've joined the loose ammo in the can gang. I've got a few cans of 9mm. I keep an even 2,000 in each. I put a piece of paper in each with the count and date that I sealed it up. Using them as my next shortage insurance. Plus it'll be fun to open them in a few years and see the exact date that I stored them away.

[@donrollo7329]

@@andrewmconrad I have all my ammo stored like that in ammo cans. I take the end of 1 box and place it on top of ammo in each can to tell me what’s the bullet type and grain.

[@petergraziosi9716]

I use the 30 caliber plastic ones for my loose ammo and it fits around 1100-1200 rounds per box. I figured it was just over 30 lbs although I have never weighed it. I have the larger 50 caliber plastic ones but the ammo is in the original boxes. I need to rotate my ammo as some was bought early in the pandemic and is 2.5 years old. My main calibers for shooting at the range are .380 (14.5K) and 9mm (21k) and 22 cal. (26-27K). It may sound like a lot but I go through about 800-1000 rounds centerfire and 2000 rounds 22 cal. each month.

[@andrewmconrad]

As long as that ammo is stored properly (and judging by your comment, I'm assuming it is) it should be fine for more than 2.5 years

[@frankhinkle5772]

Very helpful video. I have cans of ammo in bulk like this, but they are too heavy for me to be carrying around to the range. So I scoop out what I think I need into smaller plastic boxes and such for range use. i put masking tape on the end and top of the boxes and then write with a wide tip marker what is in each box so I don't have to handle them unnecessarily. Because they can get VERY HEAVY!

[@andrewmconrad]

Very heavy, plus, the flat carry handle isn't comfortable whatsoever

[@caesar1295]

I’ve got mine in ammo cans but I took the wife’s vapor seal machine and vapor sealed 50-100rd bags with the batch and ID tag from the cardboard boxes and sealed them up with the desiccant bags then put them in ammo boxes. Also labeled the ammo cans with the amount and ammo type. Only ammo I didn’t seal in vapor bags was shot gun rounds it took to much of the vapor seal and the wife got mad so there just in marked ammo cans. She even got me some plastic ammo cans for range day because she couldn’t pick up the steel ammo cans. I have one ammo can full of .22LR that weighs 68lbs and I use a hand truck to move it and all of it’s in sealed vapor bags each labeled. Took awhile to accomplish this but I’m retired and it gave me something to do and the ammo should be protected for a long time if I can’t shoot it all.

[@E.L.RipleyAtNostromo]

I always leave it in the boxes in the can. Way easier to carry, I know the lot numbers, can mix brands and types, and easy to grab boxes for the range. With boxes I just use more cans, but it’s a lot easier to work with them. But I can see the appeal here if it’s all the same brand and bullet weight, you’re not going to be into it or moving the now far too heavy cans regularly for range ammo, and the goal is strictly long term storage for a decade or more. In that case I’d probably line the can with a plastic bag first then seal it up.

[@robertvick258]

2A Warehouse sells 500rds in a plastic ammo can for like $118. They are a little weighty I can't see myself toting a ammo can with 2100 rds in it. I'll stick with my Mini cans of 500. Great Vid.

all depends on your storage plan. I use the 30 cal cans as they are easier to carry. I can also easily fit 1500 round of 9mm in this size can. Being older (73) the 50 cal can like you have I would not be able to carry. I like these cans for long term storage. The take up less space than boxed ammo

If I had dump the ammo there is no way of telling which round belong to effected lot. Alternatively you can buy 9mm from Europe manufacture (S&B, Magtech, Fiocchi, Norma) to save packaging space. Sellier and Bellot 9 mm is the smallest package i ever seen. 1000 round box is small as if not smaller than Herter's, Winchester, Federal, Blazer 250 round package. With S&B I can fit 2k round in a 50 cal can and 2600 rounds in a fat 50 Cal can. I also picked up 3 ammo cans from Bass Pro last week as well. $10 for a metal can with sturdy lid is a no brainer.

I started to put my 9mm in a can that size, but I ended up using a 30 Cal can. Way less weight.

[@saltyseatv5904]

Yup all loose ammo goes into a 30 cal can for me!

[@clayh826]

nice load of ammo

[@ronaldprovencher7570]

average can 2000 rounds

[@allanfischer9417]

Good info to have.

[@thomasc5817]

That’s why I use 30 cal cans. Just easier to get around with.

[@nonameneeded-n6t]

Science, bro. 👍

[@firestorm8471]

Loose ammo like that corrodes faster . Especially if it has been touched by sweaty or oily fingers when being packed. Ever opened a spam can of ammo only to find it green with verdigris ? Leave ammo in boxes when storing it and it will last longer. If it is just range ammo, by all means, dump it loose and shoot it up !

Refreshing

[@andrewmconrad]

Indeed 😁

[@jesuschong9233]

You do need it . it flys literally

[@villageidiot87]

Tis like visual ASMR 😅

[@philipdennis-rh7uj]

Weight is more than I imagined

[@briancreegan827]

about 2800 rounds and 48 lbs

[@andrewmconrad]

Close

[@ZERO_42069]

I started keeping my loose ammo in 3 gallon buckets

[@trashedmechanic1987]

Hahaha. I have 1 can with 230gr 45 in it. 1000 rds weighs that much and there's still room in the can for more.

[@arrobrewer2730]

Yep i reloaded 1100 or so about filled the can

[@andrewmconrad]

Nice 😁😁
