The big question is do you take the 50 rd boxes of 9mm, and dump them onto ammo cans to save room, or do you keep them in the 50 rd boxes and then put the 50 rd boxes into the cans?

Nah. Leave the fifty round boxes in the 1000 round cases (500 for rifle), stack them on the welded angle iron shelves in the seatrain container. When the shelves start to sag, weld up some braces and insert as needed. There is space efficiency and there is time efficiency. I’ll take time efficiency over space efficiency any day. YMMV. Of course, maintain plenty of desiccants in the container.

Yeah, I gots no time to unload ammo boxes into ammo cans.

If I'm going through that much trouble, I'll be loading the ammo into magazines, then into ammo cans.

Did you report them lost? The ATF says you have to report lost or stolen firearms within 48 hours of knowledge. Only give the "boating accident yesterday" response if/when needed.

But what if I died in the boating accident?

Then I would hazard a guess your death is the least of your worries, or most? Or no worries at all - eh - dead is dead

Then you don't have to report them, unless you plan to vote in the next election.

The Terminator movie is the way to do it. Underground bunker in the desert. And read The Passage by Justin Cronin. A primer for stacking deep.

Who, again, are you taking on? Zombies? Neighbors? Inner city hoodlums after the grid is down for three months?

Can you imagine? Teenagers after three months of no iPhone, video games, soda pop, chips, and vaping?

Good God, man, look! They are becoming H U M A N !!!

I bought ammo cans and vacuum pack everything inside.

I'm ass deep in ammo, have a bunch of guns but I only shoot three. Sig P226 (9 mm), Bushmaster AR15, and a Mossberg 590A1. I do shoot them often for training. At my age, there are so many more things that I prefer spending my money on (vacations, kids, grand kids, vacations, sports cars, vacations). I know blasphemy, but that's where I'm at.

IIRC the US Military store their ammo (.50 and smaller) in ammo cans, ideally in a cool warehouse/Arsenal.

When we were heavily engaged in Iraq/Iran they were running low on .50 BMG ammo and were going through old storage facilities pulling out everything they could find. They found WW2 vintage ammo in sealed tin cans (inside wood crates) that was quite serviceable.

My take from that lesson - keep it dry and if possible cool. Nothing more is needed.

Just use it before 60+ years go by.
