Should be just 4 small boxes, takes up very little room. You will be surprised. Heck, 2000 rounds is just a good start. I'll shoot a thousand rounds on a good day of shooting.

4 small boxes and one P/O'd UPS driver

How much does 4 boxes weigh?  50-60 lbs?

+1 I run through about 1k each time I'm out... it makes the round count easy that way.

Take a class from Jeff Gonzales.  But first, get another 800 rounds.  You will shoot all of it in 3 days.

XM193 (non-PD) is good stuff. I have never had a failure with it in my Bushmaster.

XM193 is good stuff, I've went through lots of it.  As others have said, 2K is a lot less than you think.

Even if you shoot conservatively, you'll probably go through it in a year or two. If you shoot like me, it would be gone in about 10 weekends of shooting many calibers of guns at the range or 4 good weekends of AR blasting.


One really fun afternoon with an m16.

It's not that much. Have shot 2500 rounds off in an afternoon with friends and 3 rifles before.

The Boxed XM193 is good stuff. Keep at least 500-1000 rounds on hand at all times.

Will take up space about the size of a smallish cooler. It's not really that much.

yeah, those Federal boxes of 500 each are less than 6"x6"x12" and more like 5"x5"x12"

Midway's got a sale on green tipped SS109 Lake City  non PD- 2k rounds for $375.

wow, if anyone ever needs 2K rounds for a SHTF scenario, they're likely hood of surviving such a situation would almost be nil....
