I need to get on one of these before you cant anymore and the value skyrockets.

Can anyone tell me what the "special grade" is?

EDIT: Figured it out, just has lots of new parts and not originals is what I gather.

Why doesn't some ammo mfg take the hint and sell a 30.06 marketed as Garand Safe and download them slightly to essentially be the same ammo as the Greek HXP?

Some manufacturers do market "Garand safe" 30-06 ammo. The only thing is, it's considerably more expensive. For now, the Greek HXP from the CMP is the cheapest around and quite good for milsurp ammo.

Just heard from CMP. They offered to switch my order from an HRA (that will take several more weeks to deliver) over to a Springfield they can ship in a day or two. I took them up on it.
