1 gallon milk jug demensions

Post by dugachelli » 02 May 2016, 7:32 pm

Hi everyone, need some help from our American forumites, can you measure up a 1 gallon plastic milk jug for me please. I need the height and width and depth......from what I am able to see on the google they are roughly square and narrow slightly towards the top. I would ask you to send me one BUT I am better off trying to find something over here in Australia that is roughly the same physical size which I can source easily.
Why you ask?........well so my mates and I can practice the long range shooters of Utah milk jug challenge of course :thumbsup: ....thanks in advance.

3.8 litres, 3800cm3, cubic root is about 16cm, so 16cm x 16cm x 16cm.... or thereabouts

Alternatively use OUR 3L milk jugs which are about 14cm wide x 22cm high

So now you can replicate those youtube gallon jug shooting vids :thumbsup:

Excise on a 375ml container of 4.9%abv beer (VB) is $0.62, considerably cheaper than 3lt of milk.
