Midway USA Ammo

[billtool]

So I just found 308Win brass cased soft Points in stock for $0.85/round from Midway USA with free shipping. It's the Prvi Serbian stuff, but I've had pretty good luck with it over the years as I recall. Not match ammo, but I remembered that virtually all my .308 is military surplus FMJ so I needed something that will ball up a bit inside. The Serbian offering will keep me inside 2" at 100 yards, I'm sure. If you want a soft point .308 - buy this quick, guys. It's not cheap, but it's the cheapest out there and you can get it. And it just shipped.

It's the immediate gratification for which I'm apparently the antithesis as a result of my hue. Must admit I like it.

I just received 600 rounds of PMC 200 grain 10mm. Never shot this brand before but were the only ones available that were brass. Haven't gotten around to buying dies and reloading stuff for it but I'm sure the primers I have for my other handguns as well as powder will be good. Problem was finding enough brass. This is a brand new gun that I just recently acquired and when it ejects the brass it tossed most of it to the top of the roof where I was shooting at 25 yards. It ejects brass really really far almost 2 to 3 lanes from where I'm standing.

I saw .308 Rem Core-Lokt JSP at both Walmart and Sportsman's Warehouse for ~$18 per box this evening.

Our 1911 launched for the moon, going for heavier a heavier spring lol! On pmc, I used the factory stuff several times before just being done with it, good for giggles at close range ime. Once the new spring is in (came with 18lb, planning on testing 24-22) the dies will be next.
Per the op, that's not bad, and prvi gets the job done!

I've never tried PPU before but discovering I was low on 357 Sig target ammo, I'm gonna give it a try.

Remington Core-Lokt is all I've use for over half a century when hunting elk and deer and always gets the job done. I still have several boxes of core-lokt labled at $7.99 a box. I always thought I would shoot it frequently but turns out I only end up using 4 rounds a year sometimes 8 if I go on a deer and elk hunt. I use 3 rounds to check zero and one round has gotten the job done for both animals. It may not shoot bug holes but in my rifle when I can hit a milk jug at 500 yards I'm good to go.

Its decent. Goes bang everytime with reasonable accuracy.

I like their brass. The stuff is always very close on weight and length.

I ran about 3000 rounds of PPU .308 through an M1A about a decade ago, it ran fine, zero issues and acceptable accuracy. If it's similar now, zero worries.

Same. PPU brass has proven to be very good for reloading in many different calibers. A lot of the Monarch stuff Academy sells uses PPU brass. I discovered PPU because of that and also because they make reasonably priced ammo in some odd/metric calibers.

I’ve had good success with PPU out of my commie guns.

You guys that aren't yet into reloading should give it a try. Just the idea of making ammo that is twice as accurate as factory without putting alot of effort into it should be appealing to most. Also being able to load some up whenever you want instead of trolling the stores looking for a couple boxes when you need some is huge to me. Also loading to match your recoil spring so you have a pile of brass in the near vicinity helps. You could take that PPU and take it apart, measure the propellant in a sample and average it. Then refill all of them the same. You will not believe how much better it shoots. Or choose a better propellant, do a load workup and you will never go back to factory. If you know someone that reloads they will probably give you a crash course on the whys and hows to get you started. The PPU brass I have reused is really good brass but have never shot factory ammo of that brand yet.

Sorry about the thread drift.

Yeah - I got tired of moving all my RCBS reloading gear about 15 years ago. Sold it all on ebay. What a terrible mistake! Reloading supplies are as scarce as ammo these days. Once all the BS is over, I'll probably dive in to a Lee progressive system. Man, I had a BUNCH of RCBS gear. Two Rock Chuckers, carbide dies, blah blah blah...Dammit!

 

[FROGO207]

If anything I have learned to move with glacial speed when deciding what to sell and when reloading wise. I have saved myself from your plight at least twice by boxing things up and storing them for a while. There always seems to be a need to reload down the road. I do the same with the shooting games. Taking a break will often making things exciting again.
Well at least you will end up with the newest and best gear when you do it.

It’s not cost effective for a lot of calibers and factory ammo is accurate enough.
