How to Properly Pack an Ammo Can with Precision!

In this video, John "Shrek" McPhee is diving into the art of packing your ammo cans to ensure long-lasting freshness and easy identification. Let's break it down:

01:48 - First, we start with loading up the ammo can, in this case, with a thousand rounds. You'll notice I'm going to add another thousand rounds. To maintain clarity, I use bright orange tape on the can. Then, I label it with "2k" to signify 2,000 rounds of 9mm ammunition, specifically 115 grain.

02:20 - An additional pro tip! I occasionally cut the top off the ammo box, like this Defender box, to easily identify the type of ammo. For instance, I'll cut off the "Defender" and "9mm" labels, and toss it in the can. Lastly, I inscribe the date of packing, which, in this case, is March 18th, 2023. So, it's "18 March 20" on the can. This way, you can quickly assess what's inside the can, its quantity, grain, type, and caliber.

03:24 - And for ultimate preservation, consider adding silica packets to absorb any lingering moisture. Then, seal the deal. If you're dealing with smaller rounds like these, pop in a few silica packets to ensure maximum dryness.

By following these steps, you can securely pack your ammo can with confidence, just like we did back in the military when dealing with those trusty World War II ammo cans. The result? Ammo that'll stay in tip-top condition for nearly an eternity!
