What do you want to bet they run out by this fall even with the limit? I just put an order in for 4 cans that I won't even get close to shooting for another 2 or 3 years. Such is human psychology.
I think you're right Carl. I ordered a 240 round can earlier last month and it'll be interesting to see if I get it or am offered a substitute. I really don't think the ammunition the CMP has now will last much beyond the fall. The fact that they are out of raised the price of all .30 M2 ball, imposed a limit and are out of the 240 round cans sure points that way. They've gone from a supply they thought would last years to running on empty in just a few months.

Since they aren't jumping over cliffs I joined the lemmings and ordered four cans. You can't have too much ammo.
I bit the bullet and ordered my limit of 10. I might see it in July if I'm lucky.
A little too late? Way too much talk of pickup truck loads of ammo being driven away.
I ordered my LC loose 240 rds in early Feb and still havent seen it. Received a notice that it could take 90-120 days to see it. I wish I ordered four cans now.:crying:Quote:

Anybody know the going rate these days for clipped 30.06 ammo outside of the CMP? Could use some!
Recent gun show spam can 192 on clip - $160
Haven't seen it around much to price it.

Received 3 cans LC today.Ordered 2/12.Thank you CMP.
I bought some cans earlier in the year, before the announcement. When does the CMP start counting, from Jan 1 or April 10?
I think that they count within the last year, but I'm not positive.
Orest says April 10th
If you had an order in before April 10th it does not count against your new 10 cans a year limit.

I bought 2 192rd spam cans on clips at the Louisville National gun day show last weekend at $110 a can. Guy had 10 cans at start of day and I took his last 2. There were a few other vendors selling the same stuff for $195-215 a can. Well they had it for sale. Not sure about anyone buying at that rate.
Ammo shipments are now running slightly later than 3 months, about 3 1/2 months...
FYI, my ammo order input to the estore 3-17 shows shipped today.
