Hang,
I bought 1000 rounds Belgian two months ago. Came in steel ammo cans. Havent had a chance to shoot it yet.
Bought an additional 1000 rds of Aussie on Bandoleers to add to my Aussie stock 3 months ago.
It's out there if you know where to look. Got 1000 rounds Radway Green coming next.
It hasnt all been gone a year. Matter of fact, most of its still out there if you look carefully.
Running joke around my house with my wife is that she should stop buying stuff so I can buy more ammo. Get it while you can, where you can. She isnt amused when she sees another heavy box at the door, but when I go shooting, I run through about 200 rounds an outing, give or take.
I havent bought from Sportsmanguide, but the link showed that they had the 250 round packages in .30 cal ammo cans still available, and that is the current page. Have you checked with them to see if they are sold out at that quantity?
Indian has had some serious issue, and it is not worth shooting. It has failed in weapons, and often the cases right out of the box are dented and damaged. But Hang, if you singularly have more knowledge than all the other shooters in the country who will not risk Indian, who have seen ruptured cases etc, then I am sure you will enjoy shooting it. I dont need to risk low quality ammo in a rather spendy rifle.
Wolf ammo is normally lacquer coated ammo, and that lacquer coating can start to melt in a hot rifle. Has been known to cause failure to extract, smells bad, and on occasion has lead to white smoking coming from the receiver. Because I typically shoot a fair amount when I go out, I dont want to worry about it. I have shot it and it shot fine, but again, why buy Wolf when I can get some excellant quality mil surp elsewhere?
And yes, I look at the rounds as I load magazines, but with the better quality milsurp, a detailed inspection of every round isnt necessary.
