Double dog dare you to fill two cans, and bench curl them 5 times.

I like this game. :thumbsup2:

2,400 is my guess. Are you going to actually count the final tally, or just weigh it?

Are you stacking each one nice and neat? :-)
I'm assuming you're not quite that OCD, so I'm guessing that ~2700 is the theoretical max. Assuming you drop them in, shake it all about, you'll get 2550 in there.

Haha, there will not be any neat stacking. I only do that with my .223 that’s on stripper clips....

I posted that last pic, with the partially-filled can, because I was done reloading for the day.

Or so I thought. I got a second wind!

Here's the full can:

Image

And I know from that view someone's gonna holler, "But it's not full!" so here's a look from the side. You can see some of the brass above the top of the can. Also note (from the pic above) that the sides are a little bowed out, so when you close the lid they pull inwards and push more ammo up, and you actually feel the ammo compress a bit as you latch it. So, it's full!

Image

The grand tally is 1,938 rounds. That includes the 38 I started with, plus 1900 that I loaded today. (New personal record!)

So let's see, the entries are:

movingviolation 2300
cootduster 2500, plus penalty for trying to trick me into divulging state secrets
usrifle 1845
jukk0u 2250
AR15L 2395
Pablo 2673
Duke EB 2776
quantsuff 1950
danoh "a bunch"
tannardog 2600
thefuryoffire 3000
PW45 3000
delliottg 2737
mcyclonegt 3200
RENCORP 1997
Guns4Liberty 2400, plus penalty for implying I might take the easy way out and weigh it
Rutilate 2550
beckdw 2500
PMB 1900
Powderman 2300
Massivedesign 1938

And the winner is . . . Massivedesign! :thumbsup2:


Wait. What the fuck. Get out of my post, man.

And the winner is . . . quantsuff, with a guess of 1950!

:party:

A'ight, so let's talk prizes. How about a choice of:

1) One "Hillary in Prison" mag:

Image

2) One brand new Bushnell Trophy 3-9x40mm scope:

Image

3) Just over half a gallon of Gunzilla CLP. It's full to right about where it says "Part Number":

Image

I think the Gunzilla would need to be a local meet, I don't want to ship that . . . .

What would you like, quantsuff?

Thanks for playing, everyone! :wagwoot:
