[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 2054033, member: 109113"] I did that decades ago, just as they were switching from the red-box "Hi-Shok" line to what was then called Federal Classic, in a blue & silver box. It was for an ancient Browning 308 that shot the red-boxed load phenomenally well, and the new stuff was the same story. My buddy and I split a case of promotional ammo, packaged 24/box for a ridiculously low price. Everybody in our PA deer camp who shot 308 was using them, and we stacked up the deer like cordwood. I wish that we had bought several cases for a lifetime supply. Another one that I wish I had bought a couple cases of was the Federal Hi-Energy 30-06, with the 180-grain Nosler Partition bullet. They don't sell that load anymore, but it was a gem in my old mauser '06 - tiny little groups; excellent terminal performance on animals large & small. [/QUOTE]
