New Arrival: 7.62x51 (308 Win) NATO Surplus ammo by Hirtenberger Now in Stock

Crazy hype over 308 lately. I lucked out, and picked up cases of Federal XM80CS 7.62x51 149gr Lake City Brass....500rnds for $469 about 6 or 7 months ago. The green tipped annealed stuff. I always wait on "the other guy", and watch the better prices spring up elsewhere. Happens every time. The other guy is going to give himself a coronary soon me thinks.

What was the cost per rd. to your door for the green tip ?

I think the other guy enjoys the banter back and forth.. And he is selling product !!

My quess as to why Anthony did'nt advertise this ammo is because he had to wait to get it to his door. And when the other guy did'nt sell the 500 or 1000 case orders that were talked about?? That left some product for Anthony ??

There was shipping, can't remember how much, but the place is only a couple hours away, and they had a promotion on ammo so it cancelled out. 2014 production, Lake City brass...lucked out.

Nice.. Get those deals when you can...
Some I snooze.. Some I don't..
 
Just tried some out , had high hopes but was let down accuracy wise .. shot some out of a ultra accurate R700 with stainless match barrel and a brought a accurized scoped M305 that shoots copper washed Norc x51 and AE within a inch usually in 3 shots .. best group with the R700 was two inches best with the M305 was 5 inches !!! It really hated the stuff .. Gona give a try with my other M305, if thats a no go might pull the bullets and load up some SMKs or Swiss GP11 projectiles . Hope it not the old primers ? mine are berdan primed 75 production.

Norinco and AE are way more accurate in the two rifles i shot today , i dont make a habit of firing norc or any steel jacket bullet though my R700 but have and damn the Norc is decent .

Just pull the bullet and take out 20 % of the powder, ive heard these are hot and when brought down, they shot great.
 
I have shot this stuff , still own a lot of it fr. years ago I don't expect much if any accuracy from hot loaded surplus ammo .
For the trouble to pull bullets & reweigh powder , you'd be better served rolling your own from scratch.
Overall excellent ammo (just so expensive surplus that afraid to shoot it most times).
 
i shot 60 rounds of this stuff out of my Axis shot pretty much MOA one set of 5 shots were about 3 inch MOA but then went back to just over MOA will reload the 60 brass.....and shoot again

I bought this stuff in a certain "Center" for "shooting" that is located in Calgary. They told me they are boxer. I bought a case and found out they were Berdan
Called them and they said "huh....must change from lot to lot"

Buyer beware on these.

Edit: Read the post above me

Some 223 is produced with green tips.
I would love to hear more details about green tipped Lake City 7.62x51 ammo, pics would be swell.
