Another 2,000 rounds of .32ACP Walther PPK Food, (1,000 PPU 71g FMJ and 1,000 Fiocchi 73g FMJ) was delivered from www.trueshotgunclub.com a few minutes ago. They ship fast and the price was good, $299 per 1,000 rounds! I have ordered various calibers from these guys several times now and they always get it to me in a matter of days. .32ACP is also easier to get right now than about any other pistol caliber it seems. Walthers gotta eat too ya know.

During the obama shortage, .357 sig was the only caliber on the shelves because nobody had one. It's scarce now.

I got it in .30-06 SPR.
Not the largest available but considerably larger than the .22LRs I’ve had.

Even though the young bloods think the 30-06 is an antique cartridge, I used it to take elk at 670 yards in January of this year. One shot, dropped in it's tracks.
It's a caliber I compare in long action that I compare all the rest to and it's tough to beat for the ultimate round. Don't discount it as it has historically taken every large game animal in the world including elephant.

I am with the 308 as you are with the 30-06. I’ve got 4 rifles in 308 and lots of ammo and reloading supplies for it.

Thanks to @mouthpiece I got this beautiful Boyd's stock to put on my 91/59 (Don't worry, Bubba already got to this one before I did, and the original stock is being set back.)

And after it's almost week long misadventure throughout OKC, USPS finally decided to deliver it to my house.

Kudos to @mouthpiece for the constant effort to track it down.


Yes, I still need to inlet for the bent bolt handle.

About 20 minutes with a round file and it fits like a glove.
