The CMP is now selling AP 30-06, but the real deal is the linked HXP - it's being offered for $100 per 250 rounds in a .30 cal ammo can, plus $11.95 S&H. That's 44 cents a round for non-corrosive, boxer-primed 30-06, which is a deal in today's market! If you're interested, you better hurry on over and get some, because I think their supply will disappear fast.

... and it's all gone. They posted the ammo around 11 AM, and now the listing has been pulled. I don't know how many cans they had, but based on forum comments, the rush must have been like a school of piranhas savaging a cow in the Amazon...

Not seeing it in the store.

It didn't last long at all. Looks like the AP is still available for the moment. I wonder though if the CMP folks realized there was a typo in the price on the belted HXP, since they raised the price last week on the loose HXP to about 65 cents a round. I wouldn't be surprised if they cancel the belted HXP orders and start over with a "corrected" price.

They do still have the loose AP 30-06 as of this morning; $125 for 200 rounds plus $9.95 S&H. That's less than 68 cents shipped per round for what normally runs 80 cents to over a dollar a round. Not the deal the linked HXP was, but still pretty good. Just be aware the AP will have a mix of head stamps and years, with possibly some WW2 and Korean War corrosive ammo mixed in.

Well, the CMP folks just posted a correction regarding the linked HXP that sold out in a couple hours yesterday - the stuff is actually linked AP, not HXP, and it could include a variety of head stamps dating from 1940-1956. The CMP description also warns that it should all be considered corrosive. So it's probably not going to be the hot deal that everyone had expected... oh, well.
