Yeah, that's Spanish Santa Barbara. Really good surplus. As good or better than Portugese surplus. Century Arms had it for $125/case delivered 10 years ago. I bought a couple cases (wish I'd bought a pallet). It came sealed in a metal spam can. The ammo was very clean and accurate. In today's market, $430 for a case isn't that bad. I'd definitely take it over newly manufactured Russian Wolf or Tula.

Cool, sounds good. I might have to try some. Thanks

Very nice clean and accurate stuff. Hard to find these days...Wideners is the only place I've seen it in a long time.

Which kinda makes me wonder if they swept it off the floor of some warehouse. Ask them if you can buy a sealed can of it.
