Did a quick google search to see if I could find anything on the 250 rd. tins of 54r on strippers that I picked up the other day.

Ran across this place with some for sale in the green tin like I have, and haven't opened yet. Site says it's Bulgarian FMJ lead core.

I can't order it thanks to the great State of NY and their ban on internet sales of ammo.

So have at it, guys. Site says they have 20 tins left. Good luck.

i do ordered a tin was in the market for some stripper clips which at gun shows around here vendors are asking 2 bucks ea for got the stripper clips for less than it would of cost and a added bonus 250 rounds of lead core ammo i can shoot at my local range

How much was the shipping, btw? Just curious, I wasn't going to bother filling out the info to find out since i can't order it anyway.

Well I filled it out and it was only 14.97 shipping & 70.00 for the can of ammo. Guys, that is a smoking deal by today's standards.

Shipping was $16.86 for 2 cans. This place is actually pretty close to me, I should visit their store.

ok, ill ask the dumb question, how good (or not)is this Bulgarian lead core light ball ammo of course it varies from lot to lot but in general terms?

Damn, you guys are getting a better deal than I did!

Well, I'm sure they won't last long. At least the place I got mine from had at least 50 tins left.

I'd like to add that Sgt lamb and bunkysdad are right. If the stripper clips aren't selling for $2 each in your area yet, they will be! It's only a matter of time. This is like money in the bank, and free ammo to boot.

If you collect a can without opening it, in a few years you might be pleasantly surprised at what you have for several reasons. Specially if you can't find it anymore. Heck, there are 50 original stripper clips in that can. What was the question?........oh yeah, I remember. How good is this ammo? One way to find out, but the heavy ball I have is still great stuff.

I am following your advice. I ordered 2 cans and they will be stored unopened with the wooden crates I have now.

I ordered one I'll post pics when it comes in

10 tins left!

Fess up, who else bought some?

They also are selling them in smaller quantities, if you don't want a whole tin. (Obviously from the one tin they opened up)

EDIT: Hmmm... I hope that is just a stock picture they are using, because that link shows the rounds on repro strippers, not the real deal.

Cool, i just ordered two. I dont have any of these so I'll add them to the stash.

I still have a case of the older 1940s on strippers i havent opened.

Nice Lee. I bought a can of those on strippers a few years ago but opened it because I split it with a friend of mine. I like the clips, and they are completely different than the individual ones that WWW linked above. Those are the Chinese repros.

I picked up 3.

I got one. I hope its good stuff.

eBay has 30 clips for $12 with free shipping.

Thanks for the heads up on this WWW. I just picked up a can. Looks like they have 9 left in stock.

Are they authentic clips or the crappy repops?

Got one headed to Mississippi, 5 left. Thanks for the
heads up.

Got 2 on the way to Texas. These will stay sealed with my crate of 1975 7.62. Been shooting some new production rounds. Thanks for posting the link.
