Perhaps a new owner will show up one of these days, and have the ammo for sale again.
We can hope! But time will tell. I snagged a pic of one of the boxes from the thread about the Finnish Luger rig. One of the two orders I made included darker, older-looking labels.

But to find it stateside is a drag :-(
In my searches, more than a drag--I've never seen it offered. It would be well worth having the proper weight projectile, but alas, these bullets are virtually unobtainable. PPU and Lapua ammo show up on ammoseek.com, wish I had $600 to spare!
