Ammo

Wow, $37 for Aguila, that's almost $22 more than what the CMP is currently offering. Of course you have to wait but I think it would be worth it.

Thanks for the info TDH. I reload other kinds of ammo but I haven't done up any 30 carbine yet. I hope you get your carbine ammo soon. Fed Up says online that my order is in Portland, OR so I should get it Tuesday. BTW, I saw a posting on the Garand site that the CMP is out of 30 '06 in the 240 round spam cans. I think that they'll run out later this year so I joined the lemmings and ordered 4 cans loaded in en block clips.

Lee has a nice set of carbide dies I think you will like. I also reload for th '06 and .308 and 7.62x39. My buddy and I have been working on some cast bullets that seem to work pretty well. Now if we can only keep powder and primers around we have enough alloy to cast 3500 bullets.

I got about 550 rounds from a friend of carbine ammo. It is not dated but has FN and a star on the base. The box is marked OXYLESS 50 cart. 30 carbine ordinaires ball. Can any one tell me about this ammo. I was told that carbine ammo isn't corrosive. Thanks for your help.
I was one of those lucky guys that found a Win carbine at an antique shop. The former owner put a paratrooper stock on it. Not real. It was all correct so I was able to find a stock and restored it. With the new stock it cost me $450. Shoots great. Just want to know if I can shoot this stuff.
