cmp surplus ammo

[russt]

i am ordering a cmp garand and this will be my first garand and 30-06. i was planning on ordering some surplus greek ammo from them as well and planned on starting to reload 30-06. does the 30-06 surplus have crimped primer pockets like military 223 does?

The HXP is staked. There are 3 little indentations next to the primer. These can be reloaded as normal. No reaming or swaging. There may be USGI ammo mixed in with the HXP with the 30 cal cans that the CMP is now selling. Those will need to be swaged. Also watch out for other European ammo mixed in. Those are berdan primed and corrosive. I got a few Knoych in my last batch.
