[QUOTE="SMS, post: 1748732, member: 42"] 30lbs of anything is heavy...LOL. I'm assuming this is a vehicle based bug out kit? Either that or the OP is a rucksacking stud! 30lbs equals about 1200 rounds of 5.56 or 1080 rounds of 9mm. That's more than 5x the basic combat load for an M4 and 24x the basic load for an M9. Not too shabby. Problem I see with carrying 30 pounds of reloading stuff in a bug-out kit is the weight and practicality. You can't eat it, you can't shoot it, you can't live in it, it doesn't keep you warm and you need a fairly stable/permanent place to set it up and use it. If I'm bugging out to an established location that's one thing...but I'd have the reloading supplies there already. If I'm bugging out to nowhere then I'd concentrate on things that keep me alive or make others less-alive... [/QUOTE]
