resurrecting an old one. picked up some 8mm Nambu and 6.5jap ammo made by M&M this weekend at a gun show. $30 a box. I have dies for 6.5 and should get them for 8mm, but need brass to be able to shoot and reload. I thought it was a pretty good price as the last time I was able to find 6.5 it was $45 a box for precision cartridge co. at a local older/classic firearms type gun shop.
as I read through this thread, I am amazed to see the prices of boxes of ammo listed 10+ years ago. We truly are in the salad days friends. anyone who hasn't taken advantage and the opportunity to stock up on reasonably priced ammo will be sorry. I am reading good things about M&M and how they were cheaper than factory ammo a decade ago. But today factory ammo seems to be lower than what M&M charged for normal high volume run calibers a decade ago. Not saying their product isn't worth it,(especially because I've not seen a new price list), I am rather just pointing out that factory ammo prices are really good right now. Shooters with any disposable income left in their budget would be wise to stock up now on ammo they shoot regularly. prices today are cheap, especially looking at where they were. just with inflation one would think prices would be above where they are now.
happy and safe shooting everyone. can't wait to try this 8mm M&M in my Nambu. have only shot it once before, a half box of ammo came with it when I bought it. cheers
