SWISS AMMO!!!!!! (GP11)

UHOH!
My only real source for affordable k31 ammo isnt even listing it on there site anymore
Sportsmansguide was the only place I knew I could get the surplus ammo for less than 50cents a round and now it isnt even being offered on there site anymore.........

I 'm glad I stocked up last fall. I stocked up on Priva too,which will come in handy now that I've started reloading. Aim havs priva for $11.95 for a box of 20. I looked around a bit, your right Adam ,it seems like no one has any left.Might need to check gunbroker.

Calling the swiss liberal is pretty hard to do, but they've passed some new ammo policies to try and cut down on the little crime left in switzerland - suicides.

Despite these laws, knives, razors, and ropes still exist.

lol, well thats too bad. I tried to buy a pack of it every time I saw it for sale. I was just looking at the price for reloading for it. I think it will be worth it the second, or third time around. Might just have to.

Last week I was in one of the local gun stores and they had GP11. Price......$24 plus for a 10rd. box! Try Graff. Not cheap but very reasonable.

I know the feeling Adam,If I'm not online adding to my collection,(be it guns ammo,or WW2 collectibles)for a week,I have massive withdrawals.But as soon as I finish a job I'm on and get paid,I'm back in the saddle.What a rush!and when the UPS guy gets here,it's like christmas!

I ordered some from Graff and it will be here Thurs. SPortsmans Guide sent an E-mail saying they were out but in another E-mail today they said it had shipped and UPS says it will be here Thurs. Seems like they both have GP 11 available now. Graff PAYS THE SHIPPING

Got it down to 40 cents a round if I use cast bullets. Might be able to lower it more if I cast my own.
