tcamiga, good idea to get people thinking.

However, using your figures and given the following:

- weight of 7.62mm x 51mm round = 550 grains, or a tad under 39.64 gms

therefore weight of 500 rounds = 19.82 kgs (does seem a bit heavy - anyone got 500 rounds plus some scales?)

= 0.18 kgs for headset, jeans, boots and 2 of the lightest SLRs ever produced, eh?
