Every one needs to remember this, when the prices eventualy drop, stock up like no tomorrows. When SKS ammo from China was less than a hundred per 1100 rd case I spent 200 per paycheck until I had ten plus cases. Corrosive but shoots well in the $90 SKS's from Chinna.
Blue Star Cartridge at one time had tens of thousands of pulled Remington Core locks for sale. Around $3 to $4 per hundred. I bought 150 and 180 gr 30-06 bullets and 170gr 30-30 bullets. Plus by buying these in volume I got a good price on non pulled bullets as well.
Needless to say I will die of old age before I run out and my children will inherit.
When this stuff gets cheap again buy it up! It always goes in cycles. I learned the hardway after Vietnam and did not pick up the 30-06, 308 Nato 45ACP and M1- Carbine ammo that was packed in barrels at every gun store. So remember this pain and when pricess fall again stock up.

Right now one good source of ammo is the CMP, they have Greek M2 Ball at 26cents/round. The Greek brass is first class and easily reloadable and is non corrosive. 31 cents/round gets you the ammo loaded on M1 enbloc clips. Do a price check on once fired or new 30-06 brass vs the cost of this ammo. Shoot this stuff then reload the brass.

192rds on clips in a spam can delivered is $57
240rds in 20 rd boxes in a spam can delivered is $64

Good luck and good shooting.
