Deal and Steal: Greek HXP M2 ammo

$115 per 200 rounds in a can from Orion 7 (link below).  Shipping is $15 E of the Mississippi, $25 W of it.  Not a great price, but not bad either all things considered.  The CMP has this stuff cheaper, but also has a 30-60 day wait.

AFTERMATH

Thanks for the tip!  Who couldn't use more ammo?

"We intend to produce men who are able to light a fire for Liberty in men's minds, and make them the finest rifle marksmanship Instructors on the planet." - Son of Martha

It's still listed in their e-store at $98 per 200 rounds: http://estore.odcmp.com/store/catalog/catalog.aspx?pg=product&ID=4C3006X000-200P&item=&sfv=&cat=AMC&desc=&udc=&mct=&vndr=&ba=&pmin=&pmax=&note1=&note2=&note3=&note4=&note5=&max=

It won't let me order any.  Have you tried to buy any?  Try it and let us know.

I have not tried, I will be in Gibsonburg at the end of the month. I can see what they say in person. If I can buy it at $98/200 + tax do you want any? You could always come up to Miamisburg on November 3-4 and pick it up. That should be my first actual shoot as Shoot Boss. :)

I'd like 4 cans if you can get them, but I can't get to Miamisburg that weekend.  Maybe we can work something out.

Just placed an order for 2 cans. You need to accept their terms before you can place an order. $196 + $23.90 s&h.

Yep, did that.  Still get the message that it's a club purchase only.  I've bought from them in the past just fine.

From my experience, Orion 7 was great to do business with.  Fast e-mail response, friendly service on the phone.  And they only charged me the actual shipping cost, which was $18 - saved me $7 from their quoted website price.  If that isn't customer service, I don't know what is.

Your proof of membership in an affiliated/approved club (RWVA, or other) has most likely expired.  I just bought ammo from the CMP as well with no problems.

Dave,

Good thinking and I believe you may be correct.  I emailed them last night and Cathie wrote back today and said she needed updated proof of a CMP club membership.  Just emailed her a copy of my current RWVA membership card.  I hope that's all it is.  Put a scare in me though, so I'm going to stock up with as much as I can afford as soon as she clears me.  Thanks.
