How many cans will it take to store a couple of cases of ammo ?

Depends on what size cans you use.

And what caliber the ammo is. And the number of rounds in the "case". And whether you are dumping loose rounds in the can or keeping them in their original boxes. Such nit-pickers we are.

I use military ammo cans
I have some that's been stored in the cans since the the Clinton Administration

So, anywhere between two and twenty ? Sorry, asking rhetorical questions is just one facet of my uncontrollable smart-aßs tendencies.

But, to be truthful, I really only have bulk ammo for 9mm and 5.56 anyway, out of the half-dozen or so different calibers we have (for instance, i can't see me living long enough to shoot-and perhaps even survive- shooting a case of 44mag). All the other calibers will fit on one shelf in the rifle safe, but i have at least a couple cases each of 5.56 and 9mm and i'd need another safe just for it.

And that's included in the fifty rounds you keep on hand ?
