Isreali 5.56mm Ammunition is more compact

[Johnny in Texas]

IMI figured out 30 years ago how to get 1000 rounds of 5.56mm in 20 round boxes in a 50 cal can with space left over. That is 20% more ammo per can over U.S. packing methods.

That Isrealingenious. Good ammo too.

I have found israeli surplus to be excellent ammo - if you can find some, stock up on it.
