having this same debate...Swiss as mentioned above, or
Austrian Surplus 7.62 146gr: https://www.midwayusa.com/product/109678/military-surplus-austrian-ammunition-762x51mm-nato-146-grain-full-metal-jacket-battle-packs-of-240-12-boxes-of-20?utm_source=one-day-sale&utm_medium=email&utm_content=main-image-link&utm_campaign=milsurp-762x51-109678 42 cents/rd and free shipping, BUT, I am not sure how good this stuff is. Has good reviews on vendor site. For me, will be used in DPMS G2 with Rainier premium barrel, not a bolt gun. Anyone used both or have input? Thanks! |

I can't speak of the Swiss, although it did peak my interest when I got the SGammo announcement.
Hirtenberger hands down is some of the best mil surp in this caliber. Not much more to say. I've got it stacked it deep already or I'd be all over this buy. If you're looking for reloadable brass this batch isn't what you want. 80's mfg had both boxer and berdan. Getting the boxer always seemed to be hit and miss. |

You want me to see if he'll send some for testing? I'm pretty much closed up shop for ammo testing for the next few months, but if you don't mind the potential sub 50F test weather, I can probably brave the cold for a few hrs to test it.

I can help with the Swiss and have some original 90's 8M3 7.62 x 39 that needs testing... If interested, sir. Take Care and I am ordering some Swiss now for "testing". |

I am also interested in the results.
I may order some just because of that. |

If it is anything like the Swiss Ruag SS109 I have it will be great ammo. The Ruag is the most accurate milspec ammo I have ever shot. An honest 1.5moa ammo with a TA33 equipped AR.
I only bought 100rounds to test and it went OOS by the time I was ready to buy a truckload

Quote HistoryBuffman,
Any Velocity numbers/SD, or accuracy observations, sir ? I am going to FINALLY make it to my outdoor 100yd range this Saturday to see how this Swiss shoots, etc etc etc and compare to the South African 1980 that is consistent for me, at 2 MOA. My layman's feedback will follow. Peace to All, Proudfather77 |

That is very good precision for ball ammo ! Personally, with a .308 , I am very willing to exchange better precision for a slightly slower speed.
As always Thank You Buffman !! @Buffman, If possible, what did ya think of the Desert Tech ? Maybe a separate thread ? |

^ Still playing with it. It has been running good for me. There was a pin for the mag release counterweight that fell out. I need to get ahold of them for a revised replacement.

Thank You Buffman ! Great video.
I may have to grab some of that. Was you ammo at outside temp or warmer when you shot? |
