Ability to Box Loose Ammo

[OneManStanding]

I'm finding I'm needing a lot more ammo to do the level 5 quests. Used to be that 300 rounds of 7.62 was just for emphasis ... now I'll easily go through 150 rounds of 7.62 just trying to get through the front door!!! The ability to craft a box of ammo is all fine and good with the saving in ingredients, but why can't we box up loose ammo for ease of carry? It makes logical sense we'd be able to do it as the game allows you to bundle up stones for storage.

All the loose ammo you have lying around, you can bundle it up into boxes of 100 to carry more, carrying 500 rounds in the space normally holding only 150.

Honestly, I want this so much.  I literally play with creative mode on, just so I can do this.  I don't use it for anything else, just to dump 300 9mm rounds into the void, and give myself 3 stacks of 100 count boxes.  Etc with other ammo.  There really is no reason why they couldn't do this, possibly unless ammo isn't coded to be a usable crafting material.  Even then, I can't imagine it would be that hard to make it so.

PS, I take a fully loaded m60, a loose stack of 150, and 10 boxes of 7.62 in to clear a Tier 6 Infestation at Army Outpost #7.  That's barely enough.

Yeah, I created my own mod a while back that adds recipes to box up loose ammo. I have no idea why it isn't in vanilla. Just make it cost a few bits of paper to account for the "box".
