L@@K what I found today. lying on the floor under a counter in an old garage. Traded 390 rounds of 6.5x55 Swede ammo for it. good deal or what? it will need some TLC and a few bucks to upgrade. still not a bad day. GD

$1.30/ round x 390 = $505.05

Holy cow. PRVI is only $0.75 a round.Originally Posted by scb
when I purchased the ammo (military) it cost me $4.75 per 130 rounds mfg in 1961 my cost $14.25 I still have it in 200 round ammo packs at one time I had a few swede rifles on hand. I am now down to one rifle model 94 carbine and about 2000 rounds of ammo. I still think I got a good deal. PS I just sold a dealer 390 rounds for $180.00 bucks. so what ever way you look at it. it still works for me. Tom GD
