$110 a box! GOOD GRIEF! Unlike some, Ive actually got a 375 and at those prices IM OUT! Fortunately I roll my own so Im immune to those outrageous prices.
With that said, the age of the ammo wouldn't bother me one bit as long as its been kept in a dry place. If kept in a controlled environment it will be good way after we are dead and gone.
Hunt, congrats making your 50th post in 18 years! ... I agree ^^^^^^^. I roll my own whenever possible as well. Even at today's inflated Gun Broker prices, you could still load .375H&H with new brass for less than $3.00 a stick. If you sourced some 1x brass, you could get it close to $2.00 per stick.
Thanks! To be honest, its not that I don't have anything to say, Id registered all those years ago, made a few posts, drifted away, and forgot my password! After hanging around here the last several days, Im liking this place just fine! Call xiden a dementia riddled, child diddler, diaper wearing thieving bastard around here and its fine, some of those other places, well not so much! That would get you a lock and a ban.
I lucked into my 375, wifes uncle bought it back in the 70s with thoughts of Africa. Hes in his 70s now and mentioned selling it, so I made him an offer on it that was a great deal for both of us. He does woodworking and needed some lumber, I log for a living so lumber isn't an issue. I traded lumber that all I had in it was my time. He also had 3 boxes factory ammo plus a few boxes of brass. I bought some new brass as well before the insanity hit. I also bought 2 different weights of Barnes bullets and 500 speer grand slam bullets when I caught them on closeout for less than 20 bucks a box. Im set for life now on ammo for it!
That old gun is a shooter too! It took me a while to figure it out, you cant put any pressure on it when you shoot. Gotta just let the big dog eat when it comes to recoil. If you can do that, it will put 3 shots way less than an inch with pretty much any load Ive tried in it.
