[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 2372672, member: 7157"] The problem with this ammo as an investment is that the CMP's recent 20% price increase now puts HXP into the neighborhood of commercial Garand-safe ammo, like that now being sold by Prvi. The HXP is no longer the bargain it once was, and its replacement cost is such that there's not much point in buying it any more unless it's simply to continue supporting the CMP. As an investment, it works only if you bought a ton of the ammo back when it was 25 or 28 cents a round. Even then, it's going to be harder to sell it these days when people realize they can get commercial ammo, with better accuracy, for just a few pennies more per round. The HXP's main advantage now is the quality of its brass for reloading - it's thicker than most of the current commercial brass, so it should last through a few more reloads. [/QUOTE]
