.30 Match ammo??

[dlouie87]

Sadly, my uncle who served for 30 years in the AF just passed away last month. I was helping my dad clean up the house and came across some ammo.



I think it was for couple of m1 Carbine but just wanted to make sure. I'm not familiar with this cartridge but it is around .25'' longer than a .308

Any one know what this would be worth per a box?

I'll second his guess. From the box, M72 Match refers to a .30-06 Cartridge with a velocity of ~2600 fps. Here's a list

it's a 30-06.... I asked my friend's dad.

How much would a box of these go for? I have 30 boxes of 20. and I have no 30-06

At least $20 per box, probably more. Check gunbroker.com

looks like around $30/box. SWEET!

I'm not sure, but I can drive up to Chico and take that off your hands for you.

that'll work. Let me know via PM. I have 5-10 boxes left

I'll put it in the FS forums for $25/box.
