I have a Standard military .50 cal ammo can filled to within an inch of the top of Wolf .223.

Without counting it all out, what would be your estimations of the amount in this ammo can?
Thanks in advance,
Kevin

Weigh 10 rounds.  Weigh ammo can.  Weigh ammo can with ammo in it, subract weight of ammo can and devide by the weight of the 10 rounds.  Then do math.

If I had a decent scale, that would work!

MI is closer than GA so I can be there first!!
Not that it really matters if the count is wrong.  

But I do have family in the Akron/Canton area that we visit freq.  so there's a better chance that I will actually stop by!!

OBTW  I would rather count them all out then to do that weigh and math fornula thing.  It would be faster than finding a good scale and a calc. that the kids haven't broken/lost/took to school/wore the batterydown than it would to play in it and run my fingers thrucount it all out.






Edit to spell school right!

You would probably pass pretty much right by here on your way to Akron, Canton!
I'm right off ST RT 2 / I 90, off ST RT 58

All ammo cans should be labeled with ammo caliber and round count. My OCD will not allow it any other way!

Great minds think alike I suppose. Some just have digital cameras.

ETA... I can't believe that you are a clip czar instead of a magazine tsar.

Just count the number of boxes in there and multiply by 20.  

Or if they are loose rounds - Just take the number of empty boxes left after opening all of them up and dumping them in there, and multiply by 20....
