The Aud, laden with an estimated 20,000 rifles, 1,000,000 rounds of ammunition, 10 machine guns, and explosives (under a camouflage of a timber cargo)
this would only give 50 round per rifle. less if some of the ammo is used for the machine guns.
this link gives
The Aud was commissioned by Sir Roger Casement in Germany during World War One to deliver to Ireland a cargo of 20,000 rifles, five million rounds of ammunition, machine guns and explosives
this still only gives a figure of 250 rounds per rifles without counting the machine guns.

who much ammunition could be fit it a hold that size along with the rifles and machine guns and a couple of tons of explosives and some lumber on top to hide the weapons.
the weapons were captured from the Russians in the Battle of Tannenberg in 1914
By the time the battle ended on 30 August, Samsonov's Second Army was destroyed, with 92,000 Russian troops captured, another 78,000 killed or wounded, and only 10,000 (mostly from the retreating flanks) escaping. The Germans suffered fewer than 20,000 casualties and captured over 500 guns. Sixty trains were required to transport captured Russian equipment to Germany.
