.30 Carbine Ammo
I am thinking of acquiring some additional carbine ammo. What is considered the best bang for the buck these days?

Prvi Partizan. You can usually find it for $17-$18 per 50.

You may also want to look at the CMP as well. They carry cases of Aguila brand 30 Carbine ammo. Decent plinking ammo and the brass reloads nice.

terrific price. Might want to check SGammo as well as they have a similar case price (a little higher by the box) and was a little less when considering shipped/delivered price.

That is a really good price. I've got about 3k rounds and swore I would not get any...

I bought several boxes of ARMSCOR from an online vendor awhile back. I think it was around $16 a box of 50 for brass cased, FMJ lead core.

At just under 2,000 fps, there is not much one needs to "do" to a .30 Carbine bullet to get explosive results. Garden variety JSP ammo with blow out joints.

Try "ammoseek.com" for excellent online deals.

Over a year later......SGAmmo has Fiocchi for $15 per box of 50 if you buy 1,000 rounds.

Ditto the Prvi from AIM. Been getting that ammo since I got my carbine from CMP like 11 years ago. Never had a single problem with it, either FMJ or SP.

Yep, shot a lot of the Prvi Partizan with no issues.

If you can get up to Camp Perry during the National Matches there are vendors there who sell bulk 30 cal ammo. Last time I was there there was an older gentleman selling 30 carbine ammo in ammo boxes at a great price.

(Don't recall exact price but it was significantly lower than most).
One tip- if you can go shopping the last day most vendors will give you a better deal to avoid having to pack things back up.
