Now some might file this under logistics and some under investment. . . Me, I'd file it under both.

Ammoman has GI crates of .40 S&W Expanding Full Metal Jacket! One can, 650 rounds, for $249.00 delivered or a crate of two cans, 1,300 rounds, for $450.00 delivered:

40 S/W EFMJ 165 GRAIN

EXPANDING FULL METAL JACKET

SEALED MILITARY AMMO CANS

13 BOXES OF 50 ROUNDS EACH

650 ROUNDS PER CAN

I don't have a .40 and I don't have any money, but even if I had the money and not the pistol, I'd still buy these as an investment.

pdxr13 said...: these are "humane" expanding rounds, because we say so. All inconvenient words will be re-defined to mean what they need to mean when we say them.

I don't have .40S&W either, but a whole lotta cops have Glocks in that cartridge.

Anonymous said...: Expanding rounds are not a violation of the Hague Convention as the user is not using them in a properly declared war. These rounds are popular where hollow point ammunition is prohibited, like in Europe. FWIW; January 18, 2012 at 5:13 PM
hkgonra said...: That is pretty expensive, you can get good fmj under $150 delivered for 500 rounds or good hollow points for under $180 delivered.; January 18, 2012 at 5:17 PM
Miles said...: This ammo must have failed a QC inspection. Uncle uses this for 'anti-terrorist' purposes (thus bypassing The Hague accords about expanding projectiles) and is certainly not surplusing any that I know.
I'm not saying it's bad ammo, just that Uncle's quality requirements probably weren't met.
This happens quite a bit.
You can see all the 'XM193' and 'XM855' on the market. Same thing, not bad ammo, just not passed by a picky inspector.; January 18, 2012 at 5:32 PM

Bryan Reavis said...: Anon,
I'm just saying, that the ammo is advertised as "Military" and either it's misleading or it's a war crime waiting to happen. Not a bad price if you shoot the Short & Weak. Why can't I ever find prices like this in my calibers?; January 19, 2012 at 1:40 PM

It says GI crates, not GI ammo....

And I don't follow the Hague anyway. ;-)

It's good stuff, anyway. Good find, Mike.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
