#1 TW, last time I bought 7.62 ammo, I bought a crate. The UPS guy made it out to be pretty heavy. The wooden crate, metal "spam can" insert, and accompanying 1240(?) rounds of ammo was about 60 lbs. My ciphering (remember to carry the two) puts 45 kilos at somewhere betwixt 2000-3000 rounds max. While here in the U.S., the media would portray this as truly only an amount of ammo of apocalyptic scale, other firearm enthusiasts might say "meh, a typical weekend at the range with friends". Hope this helps. Oh yeah, the crate in question I had delivered was about 30" x 18" x 8" so not really all that big.

#2 My friends and I blow through around 500 rounds each when we go to the range.

So 2000 rounds with 4 people isn't that much. Well, maybe in Europe where having one round is enough to send people into a fit.
