This might be in the wrong forum, but I couldn't think of a better forum to ask. I mean, ya'll are pretty much the ammo specialists of the board, right? </flattery>
Here's the thing - I've come upon some hard times financially, and my Yugo SKS has to go. Along with the rifle, I have a (what I think) is a .50 cal ammo can filled with Wolf 7.62x39. I say I think it's .50 cal because when I bought the can, it had all the markings obscured with spraypaint. Dimensionally, it looks to be about as long as a surplus 5.56 can, and about 1 1/2 times as wide. Depth is the same as the 5.56 can.
Anyway - I have it packed literally to the brim with ammo. I was going to sit down and pick it all out and count it up, but I'll be danged if I have the patience and attention to detail to count it all out.
I can tell you this - I've only ever bought one case of 7.62x39, and I don't think I have any leftover boxes in my ammo cabinet. So, logic would state that I have 1k rounds in this can - but it doesn't look big enough to hold that much!
Can anyone help me out here? It'd be awesome if one of you fine fellows used the same storage as me, and could tell me (even roughly) how much I have here. I'm fine with getting a rough count, but I don't want so rough a count that I end up shorting my buyer.
Thanks a ton, ya'll.
