I just received my order for M2 ball from these guys:
http://ammunitiontogo.com/catalog/index.php
The stuff came in 2 ammo cans with 500 loose rounds each. I'm not going to sit and look at each round, but from the handfuls I pulled out of each the years seem consistent. I guess this stuff was de-linked as there are some dents. Nothing serious, I've shot 7.62x51 with bigger dents from my CETME (I can take pictures if anyone is interested). Expect high shipping fees as each can weighs 33 pounds.
While I was at it I went ahead and got a bandoleer of Greek HXP on Garand clips. I only pulled out one of them to look at but it had some green corrosion on the brass and light rust on the clips. Again, nothing too bad, I'll just have to clean it before shooting them (which isn't a problem since I don't have a Garand anyways). They also have big sealed spam cans of HXP on clips if anyone is interested in that sort of thing.
And finally I got 500 rounds of .30 Carbine. The one I opened looks perfectly fine, it's new S&B stuff. Handling wear on the boxes, but that's normal. Some of the Fiocchi I've gotten from other places in the past looked like the boxes were about to dissolve and the ammo was still fine.
No problems, I'll buy from them again.
