    He helped out a lot.when your in the middle of a job he would allways come around to give you a hand and pick up stuff.

    CMP has 200 round cans of the Greek HXP, loose pack in the can for $98. I ordered 3 a couple of weeks ago. I got some about 3 years ago, and it's amazingly good stuff. Very accurate.

    Other than that, haven't seen any.

    I haven't yet.And I dont know if I qualify to get any from them?
    The Greek stuff shoots great!I had a batch of Austrian which had OJP headstamps and I thought they were HXP.
    The OJP was nothing but problems-case failures,split necksand primer blowouts.I wound up trashin the whole can and never got any HXP after that because I read it wrong.

    You just need to join a member organization like the garand collectors association first. Since you are a vet, you'll just need to fill out a form to join CMP. Then you will fax that in and they will give you store access. You can get er done pretty quick.

    I was looking at the "donate" page expenses a couple days ago...looks like someone (I'm guessing J) paid for COAR's association fee with CMP...might be worth asking when that'll take effect.
