This is an interesting question I was posed the other day.
How much powder is there in 50 pounds of 50 cal ammo as compared to 50 pounds of 22 ammo? Is there a relationship to this do you think? So for instance could you draw a linear graph between 22 rimfire .223 .308 and 50Cal? How much powder is there in a .22 rimfire cartridge anyway? 2 grains, three?
This all came about because of an insurance questionnaire for fire risk. They had asked what weight of ammunition was being stored and the answer was that the question was not relative as much as how much powder was being stored. An interesting question though which demonstrated, to me at least, that the rest of the questions were pretty much made up too and had no real relevance, but someone needed to justify their salary.
