When 68 cents a round is considered a bargain it's time to start reloading.
Not as many folks as before are considering the HXP to be a bargain. Seems like those who still do, are not reloaders or have any desire to start.

Just read this for the loose AP as well:
"Manufacturer varies, but most of the rounds are Norwegian (AYR headstamp) manufactured in 1956, Berdan primed. Although the 1956 manufacture was reported as using non-corrosive primers, some of the rounds may have corrosive primers."
Lucky dog. Read up on the conversion before you go banging any hot .06. Sell it to me when it loses its flavor. Might even trade you a tt33!
I decided to gamble on the linked AP, and let my order for two cans ride. They showed up today; the cans are in excellent condition, and the AP is likewise in great shape. I only inspected the head stamps on the first two or three layers, but they were all marked F A 51, meaning Frankford Arsenal production. The stencil on both cans indicated a lot number of FA L- 904, so if the contents are original to the labels, the ammo I received probably is non-corrosive. That being the case, I'm quite pleased with what I got, especially since others have reported getting a hodgepodge of AYR and other head stamps in varying condition.
