Is that 2200 rounds of 9mm in boxes? I have only been able to make a thousand fit in a .50 caliber can.

I usually get around this amount in loose 9mm handloads per .50 cal can. Last month I got 2,132 in (kept a mental count when case gauging with a Shokbottle).

 

[Hansen]

the 9mm is fairly accurate in loose form. I have 3 or 4 full right now

[Harrier]

Since I reload various combos, I keep mine in boxes so I can write the load info on the box... I get far fewer per can than those numbers.
