I have a question for THR members out there, because this one eludes me.
Why is .30 carbine ammo exspensive, that is, compared to other surplus ammo?
Or for that matter, the major ammo manufacturers, like Winchester,Remington, Sellier & Bellot, etc. sell it for prices one would expect of larger caliber/ obsolete ammo.
Cheaper Than Dirt is selling it for about as much as .22-250, and I would like to belive that there is much more of the former floating around(i used to see alot of surplus Lake City, headstamped late '60's not too long ago).
110gr FMJ, push by(if my memory serves me)13 or so grains of powder, in basically what amounts to a large pistol cartridge case.
What gives?
