Gander Mountain has 147gr FMJ 7.62x51mm in white boxes for around $10 per 20, IIRC.

I am going to be shooting out of a Rem 700PSS so I need better quality .308.
However, I am just learning how to shoot so I can't afford to waste $1 per round on match grade. |

I know that they used to sell WWB "USA Brand" in 7.62x51. Haven't seen any in many years.

It is good plinking ammo, but you won't win any matches with it. For just general range shooting it is good stuff. For competitions I'd buy something better |

I'm not worried about winning matches, I just want to hit paper! Once I get decent sized groups I'll buy the $1/rd stuff or start reloading. |

+1 I've still got 4 or 5 boxes, but I havent' seen any of it around in a while. FWIW, I just shot 140 rounds of SA .308 today without a single failure. (M1A) The SA from aimsurplus.com is the best deal going right now.

i'm hoping there's enough cheap 308 left by the time i pick up my M1A. from all the horror stories i've been hearing, you'd think that it's all drying up and fast

AIM-South African 7.62X51=$154 per 980 rounds. 147 grain copper jacketed lead core brass cased berdan primed. Non reloadable but nice dependable shooting ammo. It will NOT hurt your rifle in any way. 2" ammo out of a decent gun that likes it. For the price tho right now you can't beat it.

+1 Unfortunately, I can't find it at any other walk-in stores besides Gander Mtn. This WWB stuff is my absolue favorite ammo to shoot through my M1A. |

You probably know that 5.56 military is technically a little different than .223 and that it’s dangerous to shoot 5.56 in a rifle chambered for .223. The same thing is true of 7.62 NATO and .308 except in reverse. The specs for .308 allow for significantly higher pressures than are allowed in 7.62 NATO. I believe that there are some minor differences in the specs for the cases, but I read somewhere that all 7.62 NATO ammo ever made also fell into the range allowed by the .308 case standards. It would be dangerous to shoot .308 in a rifle chambered for 7.62 but going the other way shouldn’t be any problem at all. I understand that match chambers can be a little tighter than standard chambers though. I wouldn’t think it would be a problem but it could be. If the round doesn’t go in the chamber easily then don’t shoot it. You could probably sell the ammo for what you paid for it if it won’t work so it’s not a huge risk. |
