    2 crates of HXP .303 at local gun show today

    Nice find, 2 crates. 600 rds in a crate, span cans, clips and bandoleers, $300 a crate (50 cents a round). U.P.S. label notes it was originally shipped to a gentleman in Arizona from Century International Arms, Albans, VT., two of five crates. Hoped for more but I was not the only pig at the trough! Cheers, Don

    Not a bad grab at all given todays market. Good ammo at a shootable price and reloadable brass...yup. Not bad at all.

      Good deal. I picked up a case of 52-53 FN a few months ago, about the same price. It's in bandoleers and in stripper clips. The guy sweetened the deal by adding 400rds of SA

        I had a batch of HXP75 and it gave sticky extraction in two SMLE's as well as in my No.4. I tried some in my Ross and it functioned flawlessly. Still confused.

          Still a real god deal. A few years ago at auction I got three cases of .303 for $90.00 total and a case of .30 carbine for $60.00. Wish there was more at auction at that price.

            You are unhappy that you only got two crates?

              I thought I didn't have enough ammo. Then I met man who had none.
