Tinkering on Ammoseek this weekend and found Federal M80 for $400 for a case of 1,000.  It states it as mostly 2017 headstamp, but 147gr.

I haven't purchased Federal M80 in years with so many options these days.  Curios though about the bullet weight.  Typo maybe?  Does seem like a good deal.  Anyone purchased from American Marksman?

147gr is not unusual. I've seen 144,145,147,149 etc. I've never heard of American Marksman, but 40 cpr is a good deal. It's advertised as being manufactured by LC, but I noticed they sell some with pulled bullets on unfired LC brass.

last 500 round box of fed LC M80 i had was not very accurate....if you care about that. the prvi m80 is better but also seems to have a different pressure curve than other 308 mil-spec stuff i've shot.

my buddy had to crank down the gas dial on his FAL to get prvi to cycle 100% and in my AR10 some empties just barely clear the port.

the LC m80 wasnt like that.

OP and to everyone. DO NOT buy their ammo. My experience was the worst in my ammo purchase history, and I have purchased hundreds of thousands online.

Thanks for the heads up!  I didn't buy any.  Ammoseek has another site that shows the exact same ad, but labels it "factory seconds":  http://www.bulletsfirstmanufacturing.com/shop/rifle-ammunition/308-147/
