While not 308, I did buy some Wolf 8 MM Mauser. It was actually PPU ammo boxed in a Wolf box. I shot 30 rounds last weekend and it was just fine.
It is 196 grain copper soft point, brass cased non-corrosive boxer primed goodness. Through my 1943 K98k and irons I had, for my old eyes, good results. In fact come November 1st it will be my ammo of choice for a hog hunt on my friends property. |

I have shot some (Wolf, which is PPU and Herters, which is Tula) and it works fine.
But, I have a CETME and it pretty much shoots anything. However, for the price, I have been buying up the ZQI 7.62x51 at Walmart since it is essentially the same price for brass cased. and it does not have a bi-metal bullet. 
$9.97/box (20rds) locally. |

I have tried Wolf 308, which had brass jacketed bullet. I try to avoid bi-metal in my 308's. It shot fine, no issues. Accuracy was OK, maybe 3MOA in a gun that can give me under 2MOA with better ammo. I'd buy again if the price was right. Great blasting/plinking ammo.

Brass jackets? ...op,fwiw I'm pretty sure the colt steel stuff is just silver bear in a more expensive pony laden blue box. Try to find some hornady steel match in .308. Its a little more money than wolf or the others but much higher quality with way better bullets, not sure if it's as available as it once was I haven't looked for any in a long time I've been burning through a pile of Winchester/nosler ballistic tips in 168 grain and loving the accuracy to be had with them. If you haven't tried those and can find them, you might wanna give a box a go and see how your gun likes them, they are a bit spendy though. |

Want cheap 308-go to WM and get you some ZQI, shoots nice and no steel.

I have not been impressed with the ZQI.
Has anyone done a comparison of multiple cartridges within the current retail production stock? I got 12 different kinds of .308/7.62x51 & I want to shoot groups of all of it with one or two other shooters using the same rifle. ETA: the ZQI 5.56 has performed well, I'm still searching for the holy grail in .308. |

I use it for blasting ammo and it works great.

I shot WOLF and TULA out of my SOCOM and it worked fine. A little dirty, but it was expected when I loaded up. Mainly used for drills and such so wasn't much concerned with accuracy. Would buy again...

I've had good results with the steel-cased Wolf .308 out of a FAL. It was a bit more accurate than some of the other surplus I had been using.
No complaints, and (when purchasing by the case online) is a bit cheaper than Wal Mart-sourced ZQI. |

I find that I don't shoot much 7.62.... or 8mm mauser anymore, for that matter. |
