Best 308 Surplus?

[palmettomoon]

I just assumed Granite3 was asking about that surplus which might still be in the supply chain. OP? Opine?

Not 12 cents but the best. Get it while you can. If by some miracle you get 1980 headstamps keep the brass. It's Boxer primed.

FWIW,this is a little better buy from PMC and may be cosmetically better looking.

I will agree. The Boxer primed brass would tip the scale in favor of this South Korean .308.

Bought some O this last night late, glad to see we all agree!

And yes, was/is looking at current supply chain.

Not surplus, but has anyone shot any of this?

PSA PX-10 1/10 twist. German milsurp that has the headstamp removed.

Not saying its representative of all PMC brass but the only NOT centered flashholes I've ever seen has come from PMC. Never had it not shoot though, just have some spare decapping pins just in case.

I have ran wolf 168gr. It's about 3inch group @100 sometimes being able to luck into a slightly better group. That was out of my savage MSR10 I ja and my Current POF 308 same results. My POF will light strike them every so often also.

I tried to shot some old ones last weekend and they just DUD, we even thought that was the rifle or maybe the trigger... - Now, how long should we keep them ammo on storage... ???
All of you Commanders, colonels, please help us...

I have 50 yr old 22lr, 45 yr old 30-06 that goes boom every time, but all domestic ammo. Non AC house growing up too.

The import stuff, especially Com Bloc has a lot of Hard primers, made for heavy military triggers. run into light strikes on import 223, 9mm, 380, and 308 all the time. Got some Tula 308 my bolt guns would not fire....
