What is bulk 308/7.62x51 going for?

[rempel429]

Just wondering as I have a bunch and haven't used it, head stamp says 308w then o o on either side then 82 comes in bluish green boxes have quite a bit of it and has a read sealant around the primer. I bought it awhile ago used some and lost interest in the m305 platform and a Israeli Mauser, It never misfired or had any issues, i figured I'd like the rifle more then I did. It hit clays decently in the Mauser at 100yd when my eyes were good lol

Seems like you didn't get an answer. $0.80 is my "target price," but I just bought a quantity at $0.42 all-in. It is consistently accurate.

$0.70 to $0.80 for bulk 308 seems to be the average at dealers....based on purchases made this year for federal lake city.

42 cents??? From where? Must be talking about the old price on the Norinco "96" headstamped surplus from several years back.

Must have been a private sale at that price.

Bimetal steel/copper bullets and copper washed steel cases. Cheapest I saw was $480 before taxes. I guess on sale it could've been $420.

Al Flaherty has XM80C in bulk 500 boxes for $379 and free shipping right now.

Sorry, I haven't been around here for a month and a half. Hunting, and a dozen other important things. $0.42 bought me a quantity of Norinco ammo at a gun auction where supply temporarily exceeded demand. I was able to buy all I needed and maybe a bit more. I can't say where but they hold regular live auctions and have been mentioned by name on this site numerous times. For me, the auction was "out there," but it was worth it. "Fun gun" likes Norinco. I liked the price.

Correct. Norinco CJ 96.

 

[bobc]

That was a great deal, How did you like the ammo?

It's good. I have been shooting this batch for the last few weeks. When I am buying in bulk, I have a preference for Norinco because it performs well for the type of load it is.

I have been using it for a number of years, interspersed with other bulk manufacturers. The key is to keep the bore clean.
