They have two different lots of 30.06 available The quanities are differnet and one is in clips. I assume the clips would be more convenient. Cost per round is the same.

I ordered some already. I went back to check the order. I meant to order on clips and realized I inadvertantly ordered the boxed.

Re:update Awaiting Arrival of Babies Grand and Garand -both

Post by puma guy »

Our fifth grand child Baby Girl Averie arrived 10:03AM May 6, 2010, 7lb 1oz, 19" and of the highest caliber. Both Mother and Baby are fine. The Garand arrived previously but remains un-named as of yet. I'm considering the Hindu for Tiger because my father faced down a Bengal Tiger and won with a Garand in WWII in Northern India - Assam.
