Just saw an ad for some, and it got me wondering. How many folks use 'em?
I've got some. More than "some". I got a wild hair, some years back, and decided that if 50-round boxes were good (and I got bunches of 50s) then hundreds oughta be better.
They're not. Leastways, not for me. They're too big. They don't fit as nicely in a 50-caliber can, when going to the range. And I have a tendency to take "several" guns, when I go shoot.
Took my daughter's boyfriend (who had never shot a gun before). Brought these.
Hundred-round boxes, for bunches of guns, turns out to be waaay more ammo than I want to tote around.
That day had 22, 25, 380, 38, 9mm, 357, 40, 44 Russian, 44 special, 44 magnum, 45 AR, 45 ACP, 45 Colt and 454. Nineteen guns, fourteen different calibers.
Now I suppose that if I was prairie dog hunting with a 22 Hornet, having a hundred-round box would make sense. Or a benchrest shooter. Or any other type where I've only got one gun out.
But I never only take one.
So, back to the original question. Anybody use hundreds?
