Why do ammo mfgs. always package their ammo in boxes of 20,25,50 etc. rounds
when most wheels are 6 shot wheels.
If I use my GP 100 and buy a box of 50 I can only get 8.33333 full loads or 8 loads leaving 2 extra bullits. box of 25 gets me 4 full loads with 1 extra.
I realize that "in the Good Old Days, LEO's carried 38 specials with 5 chambers.
Well it's 2016 and most revolvers are 6 shot and sometimes 7 shots.
So, why hasn't Remington or Winchester et al step up and package like 24 in a box or 54 in a box ???
I always wanted to ask this question, so weigh in everyone.
