Just found a place offering 30-06 on belts, 250 rounds in can for $160. Doesn't include shipping.
Sound like a good price on 30-06?

IIRC, some of the Korean stuff has corrosive primers. No doubt someone else knows more about it.

I think you might be able to make up the difference between the CMP Greek and the Korean by selling the cloth belts.
That is the nastiest, most corrosive ammo, I've ever had the misfortune to use!
Strange. One of my nephews had a couple of thousand rounds of Greek .30-06 and .303 British, clean stuff in cartons, all headstamped HXP and dated in the late '70's. He wanted to sell it, so he took it to several gun shows and put a price of 25 cents per round on it. He couldn't even sell one round. So I traded him a shotgun for the .303's, and he put the .30-06 in storage at another nephew's farm.
The price on the 06 surplus jumped to 0.50 per round a couple of years ago, if I remember correctly. It is selling for above that a local shows now.

I bought a bunch for the M1 on M1 clips a few years back, and it shot well.
