    I just wanted to make a plea to all the .30-06 shooters and CMP members who might have a stockpile of HXP and LC brass and don't reload to please save your brass and don't just throw it in the scrap bucket at the range.Since the CMP is out of surplus .30-06 a lot of people are looking into reloading who never did before and one of the initial costs are cases.Being able to buy inexpensive once fired cases would help these people out a lot and you can also make a little money from it as well.I know a lot of HXP cases get tossed I have picked up almost 500 from my 6 or 7 visits to Hap this year alone,so if you find yourself sitting on a large amount of surplus .30-06 help out the people who didn't get a chance to get in on the surplus bonanza before it ended.

    Thank's

    Pick up your cases...but be aware that the cmp has contracted w/ the greek government to receive a shipment of 70million rounds in the near future. Im sure there will be purchase limits etc. The sky is not falling however...Besides maybe the koreans will send some of their fine ammo on those boats with the carbines and garands.

    I always pick up my cases and scrounge what I can from the buckets at Hap I am sitting on a couple thousand once fired cases and a 2500 or so rounds of HXP still.I just wanted to get the word out to those who don't reload because they have a ton of ammo stockpiled to not just abandon the brass to the scrap yard,but to save it and sell it to some who weren't able to get a good stock pile of surplus ammo to save the brass from

    They keep saying they are going to get all this ammunition but I just don't see it. They got what, 18,000 M1's back from Greece, but another 70 million I just don't see happening (though I hope to be proven wrong!).
