FYI: a GI 20mm can filled with .22LR weighs 186#.
Newbies, buy the ".50 cal./cans", the ".30 cal cans" are too narrow. Then fill them.

This is a FACT. 20mm cans are just TOO heavy filled with .22LR bricks. My wife would make trips to town, and if she was going to WallyWorld, I would have her pick up a brick. After many months of this, my daughter inventoried some of the ammo for me and told me that we had 26k rds of .22 in the 20mm can. We "spread" it around into smaller cans after that!
The 200rd "battle pack" 7.62 NATO sized cans are a good size. You can get "about" three bricks in one, but you have to break it up into 50 rd boxes and stack em correctly.

Yeah, but the 105 box has got at least 500 rounds each for all the firearms with the exception of the shotgun (maybe 100 rounds there) and the fifty (keep them segregated, as you don't want to lug a bunch of them around without a Real Good Reason.
