1) A standard USGI .50 cal can holds 1,200 loose 230 grain .45 ACP reloads.

2) A standard USGI .50 cal can full of loose 230 grain .45 ACP reloads weighs 62 pounds.

3) A pathetic 50 year old desk jockey should not grab a standard USGI .50 cal can full of loose 230 grain .45 ACP reloads in each hand in order to "toss" them up onto his reloading bench.http://www.ar15.com/images/smilies/smiley_abused.gif

Is "pathetic" redundant when used with "50 year old desk jockey?"

(It is with me. I've learned better than to do stuff like that, though.)

ima, as a 71 year old former Teamster, warehousman, etc. let me share my professonal trick for unloading a full bucket of wheelweights from my tallish 4WD pickup. Get an empty bucket, put a reasonable weight of WW in the empty, repeat as necessary.

To paraphrase Lone Watie from "The Outlaw Josey Wales": It's not right this thing happening to me. I used to have power.

That is why I have large sons in their 20's. It is a bit of work to keep their guns fed, but large sons are very handy when loading and unloading ammo into and out of pickups. Hope nothing was permanently injured.
