I'm not saying you should not have it. I think anyone should be able to have any type of gun or ammo they want (and can afford to buy).
So if you want it, that's wonderful.
I just wonder - why?
It's no good for hunting. I shoot steel targets. Can't use it on them. Can't use it in an indoor range.
Now, I've got (I think) about 500 rounds of Chinese 308. That Norinco AP ammo that was coming in, until Slick Willie outlawed its importation. I got it as part of a "multi-gun, mucho-ammo" purchase. If it had not been part of the "lot" I was buying, I would not have bought it. I just - see no need for it.
So it sits in my ammo stash. It's been sitting there about seven years.
Now, if I had some type of display - if I took my Garand, and had a cartridge belt and a couple of bandoliers, a WW2 uniform complete to steel pot, field pack and bayonet, and a manikin, I'd dress the manikin in the uniform, hang the belt around his waist and the bandoliers cross-body, and fill it all with clipped AP, 'cause that's what he would be using, and put my M1 by him. But since I don't have this display, I just shoot M2 ball in my Garand.
Now, apparently, many people want the AP, as it seems to have sold out at CMP quickly.
I just - don't understand why.
