Sweet ammo gloriousness

[Stryker]

Arrived on my doorstep today from CMP (surplus HXP):

Grabbed a few handfuls and looks to be a mixture of mid 60's and mid 70's head stamps - mostly 1974 and 1964.
All look in good shape and shootable.

For those waiting for HXP from CMP I ordered on estore on 2/4 so ~50 days from order to delivery.

Hoping to get a chance to shoot some of it this week.

Phew - those cans are in rough shape! My two cans (from a year ago) don't have a drop of rust on them. That older can is interesting though!

 

[Stryker]

Yep - the cans were in pretty bad shape overall, but the ammo in good shape (I am guessing the ammo was not stored in those cans)
Will probably keep the older can as is, and paint the other two which are more generic

I think the ammo is dumped into a huge bin and then the ammo boxes are filled from there. I ordered 3 cans too, picking it up at FedEx tomorrow.

How much?

 

[OldNorth]

Its 600 rounds.

IIRC about 50 cents a round plus $25 per can to ship.

Mien came yesterday and my cans were all sorts of messed up (also they were clearly for linked .308 and not .30-06). I ordered on the same day.

Right on target

Current pricing is $98/200 rounds - shipping is 11.95.

Maybe I have too much tin foil on, but if Marcia sees this thread could she threaten CMP like she does other vendors? Might be good to delete this in entirety. Just not sure.

She cant do squat its not illegal cmp knows this......there are no laws restricting mail order ammo sails. The bully hacks just threaten the vendors.

Nice stash. You have a Garand I assume?

Love the stuffed animal in the background.

Congrats on getting the ammo!

A nice SA special from CMP about a year ago - also an HRA that should be here in another month or so

Love the stuffed animal in the background.

Thanks - my daughter was checking out the loot with me

just curious, that likely being corrosive, can it be reloaded?

Boxer primed and non-corrosive

 

[413dan]

^^smash, you're saying only boxer primed and non-corrosive can be reloaded, correct?

Nope, there is boxer primed corrosive ammo, and you can reload berdan primed ammo, given the appropriate primers and equipment. HXP is however boxer primed and non-corrosive.
