A friend told me that a local coin shop had just started buying and selling ammo. I rounded up what I had laying around but don't use, about 100 mostly loose rounds, not one full box, and checked them out. I would have taken $30.00 for it, but wound up adding $45.00 to it and walked out with three pristine boxes of Norma 6.5x55 139 gr. I have two rifles that really like that particular load. My L579 Sako was throated specifically for it. It took a while to come up with a handload that would match it for accuracy. I have two other rifles I haven't tried it in yet.
