How much boxed .223 and 9mm ammo will fit into a small and large ammo can, respectively?  

 

Thanks in advance.

my ammo can says 1k of 9mm on it. It all depends on box style. I can probably fit more than 1k of S&B or Herters in a can since the boxs are smaller than other types like blazer etc.... I can get either 720 or 1k of boxed 223/556 in a can depending on type of box

Boxed? That's nearly impossible to answer unless you specify box size. See the picture below as to why - both of these are 50-round boxes of 9mm Herters.

 

^^^^^^ my point exactly AndyB thanks for the visual

If in a ammo can why not loose

Yes, I acknowledge the nebulousness of my question post-fact.  It's Herter's Select Grade Brass 9mm and Fiocchi 223 in 50 round boxes.

I have over 1000 rounds if .223 (loose) in .50cal ammo can.

Very close to this. I Maxed out at 1200 xm855 rds in a .50 cal but I had to shake it a bunch to get it to settle and then still use a fair amount if pressure to get it to close.

Blake-

 

Correct. I definitely know I have 1000 because it came with the ammo can. I put some extra rounds in it.
