6.5x55 surplus ammo just became available at J&G.

As usual I don't have any play money right now but figured your such a big fan of 6.5x55 you might want to snag some.

Wow...flashback...haven't seen that stuff in a long time. Excellent ammo. Made by Norma in the mid 70s and tackhammer accurate. I actually still have two sleeves of this stuff left from the heydays in the early 90s.

I am guessing thats 8.90 for the 20rd box? Whew! We used to buy the 200rd vinyl pack for about 15 bucks. Makes me wish I had bought tons more back then. I used to go through a whole battle pack in one afternoon at the range with both the Swedes. Those were the days.

I might price this against the Wolf Gold and see how it stacks up. Wolf Gold is pretty affordable in 6.5x55. Well...as affordable as ammo gets these days!

Thanks for the heads up!

I think its pretty close to wolf. However the wolf would be reloadable.
