How long does it normally take to get ammo from CMP? I placed my order on the 17th and shipping date still shows TBD.

Looks like they are filling Dec '10 orders now -- look here:

Mine took about four months from my order date.

Last two orders I got took about 3 - 4 weeks. Captain, I think you mean "2010" not "2009"

That 3-4week turn around was probably before the bayonet feeding frinzy!! You right about date - Corrected

I'm patiently waiting, but seeing that money in my gun account makes me feel like I should be buying something.

I'll swear I've seen five dozen posts from you saying "you need to reload" or words to that effect. Now you're waiting on ammo??? What's up with that?

:lol:

 

[jbpmidas]

I've been reloading. I'm shooting some more tomorrow, but when I order something, I want it now!

I finally got off my lazy butt and finished my first Garand loads. Still waiting to try them. Added up the costs and it's darn close to the Greek stuff, hence my decision to order more myself. If it's not more accurate it's not worth the bother...unless I find some cheaper bullets.

Shoe -- how you loading it?

46 gr IMR 4895, Win LR primer, '72 HXP case, 168gr SMK (hence the high cost)

Shoe, not to shoot you or anyone else down, but...........

Until you can personally out shoot surplus ammo (accuracy wise), and the cost of jacketed bullets are so high, I suggest buying "surplus" FMJ bullets if you want to reload. This is for iron-sight shooting. Optics is a whole different story......

Yea -- those MKs will cut into the margin quit a bit!! Agree with SGF, get a bunch of 147 or 150 grainer surplus to play with ...

No argument from me on that. Had to try some anyway. Inquiring minds want to know. I've got a long ways to go before I can outshoot the Greek stuff.

I hear you....... I would really like to have about 5K of 168gr HPBT bullets laying around.

I did buy 500 - 175gr FMJ M-118 pulled bullets at Knob Creek. I will reload those for 600yd Hi-Power if I ever make a match.......

[jbpmidas]

I am loading 150's under as little H335 as I can. My testing tomorrow is to find out where accuracy and weapon function meet. I want them to be as accurate as possible, as cheap as possible, and as low-recoil as possible.

 

[jbpmidas]

CMP hit my debit card yesterday. Should I be expecting ammo soon?

 

[jbpmidas]

Estimated Delivery: March 18, 2011


YAY!!!!!! :woohoo:


Maybe they are ONLY 1 month behind on ammo orders now.

 

[Doug Bowser]

I remember buying 168 SMK's for $7 per 100. IT seemed high at the time.
