I have around 300 empty Greek brass that has been shot out of my Garand. I want to reload for it, but every piece of load data I see uses new bullets (Hornady, Sierra MK, etc.). At around $30 for a box of 100, the price adds up pretty quick, especially since it's impossible to shoot an enbloc clip and call it a day.
I did an internet search and came across this website (http://www.iidbs.com/hitech.zkb?root&GENMENU601D&object-menu6) that sells pulled 147 gr. Israeli military surplus bullets.
Has anyone dealt with this supplier, or any other supplier with milsurp bullets? If from another place, how are they price-wise and how well do the bullets perform (I don't expect these to shoot as well as Sierra MKs or the like)? Did they come all marred up from being pulled?
Also, from all the Garand load data I've seen, they all start with 150gr bullets. Is there any disadvantage of using 147gr in a Garand? Is it close enough to 150gr to be used without any problems?
