What are 700 rounds of .308 worth?

go to GB and search for realistic prices. meaning, find out what it's selling for not how much it sitting for.

Standard price for surplus .308 is around .50+ cents a round. So 350 is pretty on the level.

I sent you a pm with my email on it. I'll take them off your hands. Always looking to feed my M1a scout

AFAIK that applies to locations inside Los Angeles City limits only.

As I've stated in other threads the cost minus brass to "re-load" Match grade .308 is 34 cents a round, give or take a couple cents for varying component prices. Factor in labor time and 50 cents is reasonable except the quality of the ammo will not be the same. If you are plinking and not seriously target shooting...Who cares.

DonNickmare,

hard to answer, niether your posting or the Midwest Outfitters state year of mfg. on ALL nato spec ammo, there will be stamped a circle with a cross in it, and the last two digits of the year it was made.

even as well as military grade ammo is sealed, i still would be hesitant to trust >30 year old ammo for SHTF. i have recently shot 50+ year old .30 carbine, that worked fine. so it would likely be fine for practice, just older than what i would want to bet my life on.

If it is still sealed in the battlepacks like the link the op posted to there is almost no chance of it being bad. I have shot ammo from ww2 and it worked swell. personally I think the price of .308 is out of control but good luck moving it

Somebody out here put me on to this.

Sorry Don, that ammo is worth even less to a reloader since the brass can't be reused. Good quality American made Winchester M80 ball can be found for 65 cents a round and remanufactured (by a company not reloader joe) M80 ball in brass cases can be found for 52 cents a round delivered. So in my opinion as a reloader your surplus ain't worth too much, I really think 40 cents a round would be more reasonable.
