30-06 ammo?

[clodhopper]

Looking for bulk. Practice, blaster type stuff. Who is selling it?

30-06 doesn't seem very common anymore and I would prefer no corrosive or steel cased. Been looking at the normal online seeker sources (ammoseek, gunbot, etc) and not seeing much at all for anything around 70c a round. Not opposed to tracers if they meet my other limitations on corrosion and case.

I would love to find some api, but I know I would need to pay through the nose for that. I figure some garand supplier websites might have something, but I don't typically roll the garand attitude, so I haven't found much. I figured there were some garand guys on here with some suggestions.

Look at cmp. They usually have decent prices

The only way to do it for the old ought-six ;-)

Yep, especially if you want different bullets than standard 150gr. M2 ball FMJ's. .30-06 can be loaded with a wide variety of bullet types and powders, from 110gr. to 220gr., some even make "gallery loads" with round balls. Then there's casting your own bullets, and a whole new world of choices there.

Sorry I wasn't more help (I haven't bought factory ammo since 2008). Reloading might not be the answer you were looking for, but it's literally a fraction of the cost (use half as a nice number to start with).

You can get stupid doing that though. Some reason, thought I'd own an M-1 Garand someday, and now I have like 1100 rounds of loaded -06. Only have 2 bolts and a Remington 740 Semi Auto in the house. Dare say, I'll still have -06 from that winters' load when I die.

The Greek surplus from CMP is about $.60 per round and it reloads well too.

Not quite as cheap as the Greek CMP ammo, but Wideners has some bulk PRVI ammo for $0.74/round. Link here --> https://www.wideners.com/itemdetail.cfm?item_id=8822&dir=18|830|850

You need to go shootin' more often!

+1, besides 1100 rnds is not that much.

The two oldest minions can burn 1000 rnds in bolt guns in a weekend. They are usually in pretty rough shape after a weekend of high power though.[emoji15]

We go shooting 3-4 times a month. I only use my -06 for elk and speedy goat hunting, so all I do is make sure the scope is good before the season. Been putting more 55 and 63 grain downrange lately. Just got my AR10 lower, so been thinking about pulling bullets and powder and putting them in 308 brass. Oh, can't forget the 9mm either, got my wife one of those Hi-Point carbines and after shooting it, got myself one too. She's in the rings with almost every shot at 100 yds and I put one on paper at 200. For the $$ highly recommend those little carbines. My 16 yr old daughter with the 380 Bersa at 15 yds, you can cover her group with a soup can lid. My son's not great with a rifle, but used to consistently hit 23 and 24 out of 25 at the clays.

Garand isn't necessarily an attitude, but a power level. Garand loads are lower to avoid bending the operating rod. Loaded ammo for Garands will indicate that on the box. The local Cabela's have .30-06 on a regular basis, I don't buy it, because I only have a Garand in .06, and they usually have the standard loads.
