Ammo question? What is the deal with CMP’s ammo?  Specifically the 30-06 Lake City.  $ 70 per 250 round count. Good deal or not?

have you found .30-06 any cheaper? I doubt it.

I've never shot the lake city, but the HXP is great and cheaper than the lake IIRC

I just ordered two spams cans of it earlier this week.  I think it is the best deal out there for .30 cal ammo.

I was at my limit, until they recently rescinded it.  I've shot a bunch of it, in many platforms, without any problems.

To get decent .30-06 cheaper, you would need to fire up the WayBack Machine

Best deal on .30-06 there is.

I'm a little unsure of the Greek ammo.  Ever get any unusuable out of the box?

I bought a case of Lake City .30-06 from the CMP and it shoots great and so far, all the ammo I have used is in usable condition with no corrosion on the casings. Very good stuff.

nope, I've had '68 and '78 the last 2 purchases and they've been quite clean and load/shoot just fine...the .30 cal ammo can they were in was rusty though (all cartridges were in their original boxes inside the can)
