The correct way ...

#1 Post by meles meles »

So, oomans, when you are loading your freshly minted cartridges into the ammunition box, what sequence do you use? More specifically, in the case of a 100 round MTM box, do you start at the rear left and cross to rear right, then track back on the next row to the left again, thus filling up on a serpentine pattern? Or always go left to right on every row? Or right to left? Or back to front? Or front to back? Or across the diagonal first? Or form a cross then fill in the quarters? Or start at the centre and spiral out? Or maybe, horror of horrors, just drop them in randomly? No. Surely nobody does that! It wouldn't be right would it?

who uses 100 rnd boxes? 50's all the way, throw them in, and see what lands right, then sort out the stragglers

Top to bottom rows for storage, pockets for shooting. If you cannot carry it over your shoulder or in your pocket, what is the point in having it?
