South African 7.62x51

Who's tried it?

I'm considering buying a couple thousand rounds, just wanted to make sure that it's reliable.

Cheers!

I bought, tried, and like. Out of my heavy-barrel Remington 700, I'm getting 3-4" groups @ 300 yards. For modestly priced ammo that I didn't have to reload, I think that's pretty decent performance.

Thanks.

What was the "dud rate" like? any misfires?

 

[BBq_Woa!]

[TRGOD36]

When is the next shipment "scheduled" to arrive?

 

[calamari]

3 boxes (60 rounds)? That's just poor planning. Eat less food, buy more ammo!

Where can I find 308 ammo for less than .50$ / round ?

 

[northern skies]

man.... 3 boxes??? 3 shipping containers worth is barely enough for my semi-auto. You must be hurting for some ammo

 

[bearhunter]

3 boxes of the SA 7.62x51 = 45 rounds.

I like it, clean and accurate, no misfires.

One thing though, it's hot.

How hot? I don't want to damage my op rod.
