Seriously, my best score across the course was with this ammo out of my Garand.

I have ZERO intention of trying to get anywhere near that above price.
I also picked up, at the same sale, 2000 rounds of Lake City Match M118 and 1000 rounds of Lake City Special Ball M118. These are all in 20 round boxes.

I thought it was pretty steep, too. It’s the new nor….ah…. I can’t say it! Just keep it. You’re ready for the revolution and can proudly call yourself a Prepper!

About 2 years ago, I acquired 2 boxes of the M-72 from a retired shooter in the Houston area. I shot it in my custom ‘06, 1-9 twist 25 inch long Krieger barrel, and it was traveling at an average 2650 over my Ohler 35 chronograph with around 3/4 MOA 3 shot groups at 100 yards.
I considered that about par for a out of the box round.
As was said, it is popular with the ‘03 crowd, and I think the going rate was around $1.25 a round before Covid and Biden.
We have a Military Rifle shooter in our Club, I will text him so he can look at your post.

If you put word around on some WTS ads, you probably can get that easy. CMP shooters and others like it.
I offered several cans of M2 ball at $1 a round and it sold almost instantly. Sold it specifying pickup at a match I was going to. Shipping is a pita and expensive.

Years ago, when I had an M1A rifle, I acquired a large 720-rd wood crate of Austrian-made Hirtenberger 7.62x51 ammo. I shot about 80 rounds and the stuff showed excellent accuracy and the brass was good.
After I sold the M1A, I sold the remaining 640 rounds and got about $500.00 I think. Times change.
This is NOT my crate, but this is similar to the Hirtenberger crate I got with big vinyl, waterproof bags inside.
