Storing loose ammo in ammo can problem?

[alec.mc 180]

I've just got an order of 1280 rounds of 7.62x39 in, for those unfamiliar with how the old milsurp comes, this type comes in a wooden crate, in a metal tin, stored 15 rounds to a small box.

 

Since they dont fit very well in my .50 cal ammo cans I have I was wondering if it would be ok to just store them loosely inside the can.

 

It would make a more effecient packing method, and would make reloading easier since I wont have to open a little cardboard package every 15 rounds.

 

Thoughts?

Loose is fine.

Loose is fine but I like those 15 round boxes. I have 15 round mags so when I want to bring say 15 mags worth of ammo I just grab 15 boxes of ammo. I get to the range, need to load up 3 mags, grab 3 boxes from my bag and load up the mags.

 

But, to each his own. Loose works

Yeh, I may be second guessing now, but that does sort of make sense.

 

Plus, that'll be one hell of a heavy box.

 

We'll see.
