I see the CMP has some of the Remington white box for sale at $90 a case for individuals or if your club purchases $65 PER CASE of 5,000... not a bad deal and I know some people had real good luck with it.

Sold out, according to the CMP store website. I ordered some over the weekend, but went back to order some more today. I started thinking about how I have three kids that I would really like to keep away from my Eley and Lapua ammo.

Boy that sold out quick..

According to Orest, the Chief Operation Officer at CMP, they sold 4000 cases in just under three days, two of which were weekend days. I hope my order for four cases from yesterday made the cut. I think my daughter's 4H club ordered 20 cases at the $65 price for their junior shooting sports program.

Wow. That's a lot of ammo. I snatched up 2 cases the day it came out. Didnt want to be too greedy! We will see how it shoots. I heard rumors that old Remington white box bullets used soft lead that leaded the barrel to the point you couldn't shoot. I hope this doesn't play out.

Yea, I vacillated a little as I've never had great luck with Remington but the free market resolved the issue for me.

That stuff is great for a 50 foot range. I don't think it would hold up at 100 meters.

That's ok, I can't either.

I got my CMP order yesterday and hope to shoot it this weekend, weather permitting. It's really clean and in great condition. I googled a MIL spec code that was printed on the outside of the box and found a Navy spec for minimum 1135 fps, 40 fps SD, and 2" group at 100 yds.

BTW - the bullet is shaped like a spritzer in front of the driving bands. Very pointy. I'll post a picture when I get a chance.

My Clarke 10/22 shot 1-1/4" groups at 50 yds. Some groups were 0.6" with 5 shots, but the 10 shot groups always opened up. It always went bang and loaded/ejected fine.

I deem it to be accurate enough for cowboy silo practice

I will take back my characterization that it's pointy like a spitzer. Its more like CCI-STD shaped bullet. Definitely shaped to feed in a repeater.
