Lapua .30 Luger ammunition

[rhuff]

I thought about this ammo overnight. That is a good price if this is good ammo, and no real reason that it is not. It is Finnish Military ammo from the 1950s. If stored correctly, it should be fine. I have some 1942-43 US 45ACP ammo, and it runs 100%. This 45ACP is corrosive primer ammo, so one has to clean well after shooting it.

Anyway, long story made short, I ordered some of this 30 Luger ammo to give it a try. I will report back once I have the ammo and can test it. Hopefully Samco still has some in stock.

A good question! I ordered 250 rounds, was promised a shipping quote later in the process, but it never came. It's supposed to be available when the order is received. I don't know how much more received it can get, unless there is a human being as part of it all, who'll show up Monday and arrange an email apprising me of the amount. At this point, I am concerned it may not be such a great deal after all.

I don't know yet, as I had to mail them a copy of my Drivers License(all of my fax copies were too dark for them). They want a copy of one's driver license on file.....I can understand that.

I expect that the shipping will be pretty stout as they are in Miami Fla. and I am in So. Az. and ammo is pretty heavy. At my age, whatever I paid for shipping will likely be forgotten in a day or two......yet the ammo will still be here.

I look forward to your report, I cannot afford any ammunition right now but hopefully will be able to afford some within the next 2-3 weeks (starting a new career in Corrections on the 9th of June.)
