    I thought so at first, but I seen some vendors selling both 300 and 600 under the same SKU.
    https://gun.deals/search/apachesolr_search/ 020892225909

    When I put it in my cart at Buds it says

    Winchester Ammo WW38C USA 38 Special 130 GR Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) 300 Bx/ 2 Cs

    So I think it's legit..i would still screenshot it before ordering. JIC

    Screen shot and was about to order and then remembered reading I think here about a recall on some Winchester 130 gr. ammo. And these are the 100-round boxes just like in the recall, but no way of knowing the markings. Wondering if this is it and they're fire selling it knowing it will be recalled? Enough to make me nervous. So will probably pass.

    I'll look into that too. Thanks for reminding me. I hadn't ordered either. Might be no way of knowing from the vendors view either, so you might be right that they are just dumping it all.

    Not saying it is impossible, but I doubt. All the retailers have to do is return the recalled ammo to Winchester. As easy to do that as to sell to customers. Particularly when said customers might be ticked off.

    I'll be the guinea pig. Just ordered from Bud's. Even with insured shipping, it's only $.18 per round.

    There's no way Buds would be knowingly selling ammo that has been recalled due to the possibility of excessive powder charges. The potential liability is just too great.

    I've still got the notice from Winchester on the recall, so I'll cross check the UPC number and lot numbers when my ammo order arrives.

    Thought I would ask here rather then make a new thread

    My 223 Wylde loves that Federal 556 that comes on stripper clips in an ammo can. Someone has a deal, but I generally grab it at Academy.

    Deal posted within the last 24 hrs or so.

    .45 never seems to be on a particularly good sale. It was good a while back with the BlazerBrass Rebate program. TargetSports or SG Ammo is gonna be your best bet or just swing by Wally and pick up the Winchester 200rd boxes.

    .223/5.56 is in the .25 to .30 cent range to your door. Just depends on where you want to get it. Same 2 locations above for a large bulk purchase or Academy/Wally for a local buy.

    I would also scroll back a few pages and click some links. Obviously some of the sales may not still be active, but they may have cycled back to a sale price too.

    For 45 are you looking for HP, FMJ or both? I think I just posted one for HP a little while back.
