What did you trade? Looks like someone got happy with some printer labels! Long range and 168gr bullets don't add up.

20 rounds for $34?? Take some picts of the actual rounds and the headstamps.

There is a guy that sells stuff at the Medina and Pittsburgh gun shows like stated above! He is a thief by all means! Prints out labels like stated and puts them on cardboard box's from Midway. He labels them "LONG RANGE SNIPER", "M118LR", and "SNIPER MATCH" and so on. MY buddy asked him if he could open a box and look at them and the guy went ballistic. Hell NO he said, that would lower the value of the ammo. I laughed at him. I have it on good authority that he loads 147gr CBC pull-down in LC brass with surplus powder. The bad thing about it is lots of guys just starting out see that stuff and think its great stuff when its only fouler ammo.

Here's some pics of an IMI match carton. They came in a larger, white, with blue lettering, Samson box. I can't remember if it was 400 or 500 rds.
The headstamp says "IMI 308 Win".
