That's not a lot of ammo over two years

Wish they would sell some onto to the domestic civilian market as well!

I'd be really interested to know what the cost per round at those kind of volume actually is.

Didn't I read somewhere that we (as in the British Forces) destroyed gazillions of rounds of ammo when we left somewhere (Iraq??) as it was not cost effective to ship it back..?

I remember reading a while ago what the American army paid per round and was staggered it was so much. Something like 25 cents for 5.56 and 75 cents for 7.62.
