SPAM Cans

[bigskybound]

Just bought a 440 round SPAM can of 7.62x54R. Thought it would come with an opener. What is the best way to open one of these

Cope's has the can openers for $6 but you can find alternative methods on youtube.

I use a very wide flat blade chisel and a hammer. When I ordered two cases they came with a metal tool to open the cans. It works half assed at best.

You only need to open the spam can enough to get your hand in and out safely to remove the ammo from it. Then put it in a good ammo
can and your ready to go. I have seen people use a small grinder to cut the edge of the can open. Worked well and fast but Joe said the tool does work but that's about it as you have to do a lot more of the work.
