Out of curiosity anyone make any? I keep eyeing up getting some PPU, PMC or someone else's battle packs. You know, the vinyl/thick plastic bags with ammo in it roughly the size to toss in a pack and stay shelf stable and moisture proof for the next 6 centuries.
I was thinking maybe the next time I buy some ammo, just getting a few extra boxes and vacuum sealing them this winter. Nice dry time of year so they'll be packaged with low humidity and vacuum sealing material is pretty moisture proof. Or would there be an issue vacuum sealing ammo? I was thinking go smaller. Like doing 4x30rnd or 6x20rnd boxes of .223/5.56 and 2x50rnd of 9mm. The kind of thing where I can leave one of each in my go bag and then when I stick in a couple loaded mags in it, I've got some reload ammo, but not a crazy amount. the 200rnd .223 battle packs seem to make some sense, but still a little large if you've already got some loaded mags with you. The 200rnd 9mm battle packs seem crazy large (unless your primary I a PCC).
Or should I just buy the darned premade battlepacks and call it a day (also I am cheap and the battlepacks are like 3-6 cents a round more expensive.
