What do you keep in your Ammo Cans?

[ray1970]

Cheetos.

[hghclsswhitetrsh]

Magazines, primers, gun parts, projectiles, ammo.

I have some with ammo in them. And I replaced all of my garage coffee cans that I used to use for nuts, bolts, washers, and so on with ammo cans, mostly .50 cal size. I also have a couple with project parts.

Now apparently I need one for M&M's...

Groover..

But it's gotta be the tall 50 cal and not the short fat one

Pennies.

Approximately 2000 pennies, all dated before 1945. Grandfathers collection I inherited.

Ammo in ammo cans? that's ca-razy!

I have a can (or two or three) for each caliber or type of cartridge.

[Goodburbon]

ammo.
Tools (specific applications in individual cans i.e. automotive electric, u-joint, rotary tools, sockets, etc.)
Food. (large Artillery boxes hold 50# flour, rice, sugar, salt, beans etc. and stack very nicely without collapsing like buckets.)
Guns. (I've heard an M44 and 800rds of ammo will fit in one of those large Artillery cans.)
brass.
powder
recovery gear. (shackles, snatch block, tree savers, Jumper cables, etc.)
Magazines.


I have quite a few Ammo cans.

I've got two 50cal and six 30cal cans.

50cal1: About 1.2k pistol ammo (450x 9mm and 750x .40s&w), 3x G19 mags, 3x G23 mags, 40-9mm conversion barrel, extra holster, cleaning brush and I think thats about it. If I can only grab one can, this one is it (along with my G23 that is, otherwise its 30cal1 and my AR).

50cal2: 12ga ammo. About 200rds #7.5 birdshot, and 50-75rds 00 Buckshot

30cal1: .223/5.56. About 500rds loose Federal bulk .223, 300rds boxed M855 and a grab bag of Tula .223 as last ditch ammo

30cal2: 250rds of .380acp, keep trying to slowly fill this but its expensive and is definitely going slowly

30cal3: 300rds of .38spl, again, trying to fill this but it is the lowest on the totem pole of my calibers

30cal4 and 30cal5: Around 1.5-2k .22lr bulk ammo and the other is about 1k of match ammo, CCI minimags, Win X ammo

30cal6: Future holding location of M&Ms because I apparently have not thought about this aspect of survival yet and without a proper stash of M&Ms, my stash of ammo is pointless.

Is the M&Ms thing a military thing? I keep seeing references to M&Ms as an emergency-type snack especially from former and current military members, and it seemed to be a thing with my dad (he was Army, but not around anymore to ask).

Weren't M&M's originally created FOR the military? I thought they were created to be put in MREs back in WW2 or around then, so the soldiers could have a little snack and something to remind them of home.

[HoneyBadger]

Sometimes M&Ms come in MREs. If you're REALLY lucky, you get the peanut butter ones!

Hell, now I have to ask what "nag champa" means.
