Milsurp 30-06
Midway has the following listed for $150. What could I expect in accuracy and performance from such a round? This noob has no idea.

Korean, right?
Some discussion here: http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/s...d.php?t=584452 Probably some corrosive mixed in. |

All I needed to know. (Meaning, I'll pass on the ammo.)
Thank you very much, Andrew

Greek HXP or USGI surplus M1/M2 ball is the only '06 ammo I would shoot in any of my mil-surp rifles. I find M1/M2 ball at gun shows at HXP prices, sometimes better than HXP price. Two weeks ago I bought 200rds of M1 ball on brass strippers for $70, stuff looks like new, been well cared for since 1912, shoots great to.
The Midway M2 ball is mostly KA head stamped and I read mixed reviews about it. |
