Is there still some milsurp .45 ball ammo floating around, or has it all been bought up or destroyed?

 

If there's still some left, where can I find it? All of the "surplus ammo" sites are just selling bulk commercial .45 in the usual brands (Magtech, BVAC, Tula, etc).

I have 11 boxes of 50 rounds each (550 total). Made for Army by Olin Mathieson. I will throw in the Ammo case. $200 FTF.

No wonder you wanted a .45 ACP revolver :mrgreen:

 

I don't mean to be picky here - and I may be wrong - but what is pictured, and what is described on the box are two different things. The box says "Ball" - which is 230 gr RN FMJ. What is pictured appears to be a swaged lead SWC of about 200 grs. These would appear to be reloads placed in milsurp ammo boxes (and I guess from your description, carton).

 

Others can chime in with their opinion, but to my mind, .45 ACP Ball has always been, and will always be, 230 gr RN FMJ. Sorry.

 

Adios,

Is it corrosive?

You might be right. I bought it (2000 rounds) in Tennessee about 5 year ago and this is what I have left. In any case it's for sale.

I've had some FTE....but never had a FTF.....Make an offer.

+1 looks exactly like that to me

Yep looking for FMJ, real military surplus. I read somewhere that there isn't much left out there, thus negating cost savings and buy-in-bulk-ability

SOLD........thanks Pizza Bob for your clarification.
