Whats the deal with this .308?

[Combatops1911]

I just bought an FAL and I've been looking for some decent .308.... I found this and it seems to be priced very cheap per round compared to other packs (500/1000rd cases).

Anyone used this stuff and is there anything better/cheaper that I'm over looking? I don't need high grade **** but don't want dirt.

Well I've been researching and have read a lot of good things about the MFS but idk I might get the German stuff from jg or cheaper than dirt....

.308

The German(DAG/MEH) is good stuff. Nato spec.. brass case. Here are a couple of links that might be of use...

MFS is Hungarian, and is also sold by Cabela's. The 308 you linked is steel case, which usually sells for less. I've seen few reviews but those few have been positive.

DAG is great ammo, but I wouldn't buy from CTD. Check out AIM Surplus or Palmetto State Armory instead.

Not sure if it means anything to OP, but I would point out that DAG is Berdan primed and therefore not reloadable. I can't tell you have many times my hand has hovered over the add to cart button for that stuff, as it is good ammo, but then moved on to something else because I couldn't reload it. I'd buy it for my "enduring stockpile," but I bought RORG for that.

I would suggest checking out Widener's; from time to time I see great deals from them.

+1 for the DAG 7.62x51 ammo.

I have been getting some serious deals from http://the-armory.com

Everything as far as 7.62 NATO I would run through an all GI parts
M1A NM & you know how much they are worth if you can find one.

I have even gotten Hertenberger boxer primed 150 fmj. Just an honest
place to deal with that will take it back if it's not what you wanted.
The only steel that goes in my guns are the steel they are made of !!

Thanks gents.

"...DAG is Berdan primed and therefore not reloadable..." Steel cases aren't either.
Don't think I'd use a 140 grain SP out of an FN. That $75 will go up a fair bit when shipping is added on too.

The German DAG or MEM shoots great for me in both AR-10 and M1A's.
