CMP price increases have gone into effect

[shatter]

Looks like ~$5 price increase on Garands which is nothing but the bigger increase is on ammo.

.30-06 M2 Ball Greek HXP 200 RDS LOOSE IN .30 CAL CAN was $118 and is now $136 though the shipping cost didn't change. Ends up being a 15% price increase.

**edit** Supposedly the shipping on ammo is supposed to be free and it is just an error on the website. That would make the effective price increase less.

The price for that .303 is ridiculous!

[2meterB]

$5 that's it? I guess I need an IHC and an WRA now...

The Hornady match grade rounds? It's a specialty item...

[steelrain82]

I know, but I think it's still outlandish. I hate .303 prices because many places charge that price for general ammo.

$340/500 rounds of dirty, 50 year old, de-linked bi-metal ammo?

No, thank you.


Now, this?

Wow, and I was rushing to get my .308 CMP Special order in before the increase.

Yep, I think they may have priced themselves right out of the market.

+1 on the Prvi, fantastic ammo. Lightly loaded military ball is what the Garand wants and it keeps pressure down for long life.

I was going to point out the Prvi option myself, Garandimal. I think SGAmmo's price is similar to AIM's when they have it in stock (two of the cheapest online ammo sources, in my experience, which is getting dusty as I reload now for almost everything ....).

CMP's Orest guesstimated early last year that the HXP would last about "2 more years" at then-rates of sales (this was during height of latest panic, and backlog was months long). So CMP can probably move the HXP at the new prices and achieve their goal, which is funding their programs.

I'm happy to see Prvi enter the market and hope that other manufacturers will come out with bulk, not too unreasonably priced M1 ammo as the HXP runs out.

I plan to reload this caliber too, but will still need brass. My favorite method of brass acquisition is to find it in ammo cans or cardboard boxes, load it in an en bloc, load the en bloc in one of my HRAs, then shoot it ... and retrieve the brass. Seems like a cumbersome method but it works for me!

People would buy a steaming pile of dog crap as long as it came with CMP packaging

That's what HXP is essentially.

What's wrong with HXP?

[Syntax Error]

I like Prvi ammo, especially their brass for my reloads!

[teetsjones]

Not a damned thing. Well other than the price now. Two price increases over the last year, from 98.00 to 118.00 and this latest increase. I'll be looking at the Prvi from now on.
