Inexpensive brass .30 carbine ammo.

[Murrdock]

After taking the M1 out to the pits a few times this spring my ammunition supply is getting low. I've still got a 50 rd. box of American Eagles left, but that won't last more than a weekend.

I'd like to buy ammo that's a little easier on the wallet but I don't want to use steel cased because of the age of the rifle (1943 IBM).

The cheapest I've found (in gun shops) is about $30 for 50 rds which I thought is a little much considering a .30 carbine round is basically a handgun round.

Anyone know where I can find ammo thats about $.50 per round or cheaper?

Wal-Mart has Remington 50 rounds boxes for $22.97 a box, search online and you can find privi .30 ammo for about $18.00 a box and lastly CMP sells a 500 round case of agulia brass case .30 ammo for $200. Hope this helps.

AIM has Aguila brass cased for $15.95 a box.

I buy from J&C Sales when they are at the shows I attend. I have in the distant past had some shipped. They are fine folks.

The CMP sells Carbine ammo, Hornady for $225 per 500 rounds, and Aquila for $200 per 500 rounds.

Either is good ammo with reloadable brass. The Aquila is said to be a bit more accurate in some guns.

Thats cheaper then you can buy Brass & Bullets to reload.

My Father-in-law has had good luck with both Privi and Aguilia in his M1.
