Did I see surplus 'sa-vee-dish' 6.5X55 in green plastic battle packs circa early 1980s? I know the 7.62X51, (.308 ), came that way.

Anyone in the crowd know more than I about cost & availablilty of quality surplus 6.5X55 ammo? Thanks.

The only surplus I've seen on the market in a long time is the wooden bullet blank. Some folks pull the bullets and powder then use the primed cases to load their own.

When I bought a surplus M96 carbine in 1982 it came with 200 rounds in a green, hermetically sealed plastic container - actually 2 of them
