I Think I Got A Helluva Deal

[hazmat]

Horking around GB a couple of days ago, looking for some quality x51 ammo to feed my new FAL, and I came across 500 rds of Venezuelan .308 for $270. Shipped.

Asked a friend about it, 'cause I didn't want to get stuck with some wannabe Paki-type .308, and he said it was good stuff. Boxer primed, NC, reloadable, and generally pretty good stuff.

I was beginning to think that $270 was a little steep until he told me he hasn't seen any for about 5 or 6 yrs. This from a guy who buys his ammo by the pallet. (I got 600 rds of Lithuanian .308 from him a year or so ago for around $100/200 rd battle pack, from a lot he'd ordered, some 5000 rds.)

I think 40-60 cents a round is about average for 762n I've been seeing at shows sounds like you're within that range.

I remember the good ol days of $29 for 200 round battle packs of SA.

I never got to see the cheap 308 prices. I've only just gotten into 308's and now I have 3 to feed. I've started to reload it but it hard to beat surplus rounds and the cost versus reloading difference.

Boy isn't that the truth! I remember buying a case of South African .308 for $140!!! Seems like only yesterday, but it was about 7 years ago! It is amazing the inflation rate on the cost of ammo!

How about $70 for 1440rds of Chicom "not real steel core".....

Yes, that's a good deal, especially with reloadable cases!
