    On the other hand, a meet n greet somewhere with someone who has one of the canners on hand might be a good idea too. Canned .223 anyone?

    I think you have stumbled upon something there.

    Would have to put ammo in plastic bags me thinks... Unlike metals in close proximity ...

    I just checked out one of the home canners for this weekend from the Colorado Springs location, so I may just can up some ammo just because it sounds funny. It works for the Russians with those big spam cans so why not.

    Why not everything has been canned I think.

    Cause they use cosmoline / waxed paper as a liner then ammo in cardboard boxes. My $0.02. line the can with something like a tire tube then seal. Then again why waste a can, make your own PVC tube storage containers.

    Stealth, Jim, Stealth. Hide your ammo in plain sight.

    The ammo cans get picked up real fast on metal detectors and infared. The pvc not so much. While we're on the subject of canning items other than food. Anyone consider sealing their fall back meds ?

    I was looking at it in the hide in plain sight fashion. I'll line the can with cardboard, and at less than a dollar for the can (.75 for the can, .10 for the lid) this is cost effective. I also like the idea of doing something different just to do it.

    The one you checked out does #10 only? Even if it only does that we need to talk in the fall. Good luck with your canning.
    I see you running, tell me what your running from

    Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.

    Canning .22 was fun. I put it it in a large ziploc without closing it, and there is one #10 can of .22 goodness mixed in with some of my food now. Extra brass and lead for breakfast sometime in the future.
