Nothing against the banded, stapled, safety wired wooden crate from 1975 but for those who would like something a bit handier I found the contents of such a crate fit nicely into a 50 caliber ammo can of the type sold at Princess Auto. Two intact "bricks" vertically and a brick of separate boxes distributed beside and above.

This ammo is not to be use in a match chamber rifle, in my Nemesis, i had 3 light strikes ( no ignition and all 5 rounds i tried had difficult extraction), this ammo will be kept for my AR-10's/FNAR/NM M1A, were it is perfect in it's intended usage... JP.
 
I had a similar experience yesterday with my Kimber 84M Longmaster. Very difficult extraction on four of five shots. No ignition problems though. I did not try any further testing with it. As I have no other .308, I may wind up selling what is left of the case (or buy an AR-10, which would be a more fun solution).
 
Doubt it. The flash hole is part of the casing. It can be drilled out making it a boxer style casing. Time consuming but I understand the HP brass is very good and worth the effort. I will be giving it a go!

AR-10 would definately be the way to go. Or, save a few bucks and get norc 305. They love the surplus ammo:)

No we will not be participating in the Lachute show.... They really did not approve of our displays the last time we were there.... I guess Marstar is not very politically correct....
