It's been awhile since I've purchased a bulk lot of .308. I spent two years away having adventures and such since my last purchase (1,400 rounds of South African) and I've still got quite a bit of that left over.
That said, the South African has dried up. As with all surplus ammo, it was going to happen sooner or later. Now, the thing is, I never liked the SA all that much. It wasn't as nice as the Portugese and required me to crank up the gas system on my FAL.
At any rate, Ammoman, where I used to get my ammo, has Lake City surplus, but it's almost gone. So what do we .308 shooters do when all of the suprlus is gone?
Georgia Arms has bulk reloaded .308 for $380 per 1,000 rounds. That's okay, and cheaper than just buying FMJ by the box at your local store, but can we do better.
Ammoman has Wolf .308 for $239 per 1,000 rounds. Has anyone tried running steel cased ammunition through a FAL? I don't think it'll affect it, but I'd like to know.
