Weight of packet of 458Win?

Anyone know the approximate weight of a packet of 458Win (or similar) ammunition?
Just working out maximum amount for the 5kg allowance.

20 rounds of 458 win mag with Barnes X bullets in a plastic box weigh 2 lb. 2 oz. which equates to 1 Kilogram.

It should be possible to take 5 boxes or 100 rounds if you had a need for that many rounds.

Into my heart on air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

Hi Oz

60 rounds weigh just about 3kg

Work on about 0.05kg per round and you will be safe.

Cheers
