    Just Bragging: 220 Grain Krag Ammo Find

    60 rounds of 220 grain Kragicon shipped for a total of $100. Not too shabby!
    Cheaper than I could buy 180 grain at Cabela's.

    Just bragging to some folks that would understand. Nothing to see here

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    That's good. Factory here is about $35/$45CDN per box of 20 and none is 220 gr. The old stuff is usually about $3CDN per loaded cartridge. $60 per box...and it's old. Not collectable, just old.

    That’s pretty close to what I see here. And like you said, no 220 grain.
    My local range is closed for repairs/renovations but it will be interesting to see what “vintage” 220 does vs modern 180.

    Funny you should mention that, I found this at my gun shop. 20 bucks for all of it. I am lucky I am liked by the owner!

    Oh, one-upping me, I see!
    Haha, looks like a nice score! It’s a wonderful thing when the local gun store is the “place where everybody knows your name.”

    BAR, I believe they are 220s, the boxes held a little mix of everything.

    All,

    The ammo just came in.

    The boxes and cases look very clean except a bit of rainbow colored oxidation.

    I happened to notice, however, that when I shake the cases I can hear powder rattle in some cases but not on others.

    Call me silly but I’m mighty careful with my triple-digit-old firearms. This can’t be a good sign for the ammo, right?
