This seems to have dried up? I can't find any on the estore at ODCMP, and I can't find a price for commercial outlets... ideas?
Federal makes an equivalent M1 Garand load. Genuine GI surplus is pretty much dried up. Some Greek stuff might still be available but I don't know its quality.
This is a no brainer, the HXP had a finite number and t's about gone. Maybe there's a hugs stash of corrosive Korean out there to be released some day?
If there were ever a dichotomy, hugs and ammunition would be it.
Load your own. I've got my 155gr Nosler Custom Competition loads down to $0.34 a round and I push my brass to 16x firings.
I might eventually sell off my M2 Ball to buy once-fired military brass (not selling now) since it makes more sense in the long run. The only reason I have my M2 Ball is for making brass anyway.
This is an idea.... I reload for pistol calibers, and I tried 223 without much luck. This on a Dillon 550B. I had better luck with .308 on a single stage press... but, I sold the single stage press.
...and a case trimmer, dies, etc. .. what's your load for 30-06? ...that emulates M2 ball...
I'll be running this ammo through an M1 and my 1903a3... I take it I'll be full length sizing?
