HXP Ammunition From CMP

[emmagee1917]

Simple , the extractor is a beefier deep wide groove style and when trying to slip down into the narrow groove it bottoms out. This causes the extractor to stick a little high and it's prob'ly rubbing the reciever area it sets in when the bolt is closed.

I have shot thousands of rounds of HXP and it is good ammo. The brass is also very good and consistent for the most part. It is very heavy and lasts a long time. Some lots are more accurate than others. I had a bunch of 1962 HXP that seemed more accurate than some of my other lots. The worst as far as accuracy in my rifles was the 1973 HXP.

Save your brass.

I bought 4 cases of the Greek and 2 of the LC when they were less than a quarter a round. I've also shot several thou of both flavors thru M-1s and 03s. I never had a single issue with either brand. However, the HXP was in better physical condition, from being in sealed cans no doubt. It also has shown to be hotter as well as more accurate than the LC in my rifles. Brass seems to be good and beefy so reloading wouldn't worry me at all.

I think you can't go wrong with the CMP's US 30cal ammo. All the surplus is drying up and no more countries use that round for their main battle weapons any longer. Get all you can while you can !

I will add my range experience with the HXP in my Garand, '03, & '03A3. No problems with any of the rounds I have shot. Very accurate & no issues sticking. Currently have more on order from Orion 7. Little more expensive than CMP but they hand sort so I have had only 4 or 5 rnds that had dinged cases.
