I still can't get over the fact that 2 years ago I was paying 22 bucks a battle pack for that stuff. Crazy insane prices for the surplus.

I ain't buying. F price gouging. New production is one thing, but they are @$$ raping us on the surplus.

Re: South African .308 1120 rounds for $496
 

Indeed. At the current prices I'd be buying only if I were running (very) low. Still, with the newly "strong" dollar, we could give it a few weeks and see whether prices become more reasonable.

Re: South African .308 1120 rounds for $496
 

So you guys like Ball Ammo?

Seems to me like you're gonna be throwing at least two or three rounds down range to accomplish what one well placed Ballistic with a little heavier bullet would do.

Just thinkin'

Re: South African .308 1120 rounds for $496
 

.308 is .308. It'll do the job. And with 1400 rounds I think I can spare a few for misplaced shots. How many zombies do you think you're going to kill before you go down? :confused_ma:

Re: South African .308 1120 rounds for $496
 

It's punks like you that scare the hell out of me. How old are you anyway?
Does your mama know that you have a weapon?

I'd suggest you do little homework before you get on here spouting off about how tough you are. You know absolutely NOTHING about ballistics.

Have you ever seen a 7.62 FMJ wound?

Time for you to grow up, cowboy.

Re: South African .308 1120 rounds for $496
 

I too remember buying 1000 round cases for $140 or so....I went through most of a case of Radway Green,little knowing it was worth almost as much as the rifle...:D

I wouldn't mind buying some Wolf .308 to try....if it would come down in price some.

Re: South African .308 1120 rounds for $496
 

Dam good ammo is just like silver ......... IT KEEPS IT VALUE.

:shocked_ma:

I have to admit, your cyber penis is looking bigger than mine right about now...

Re: South African .308 1120 rounds for $496
 

LMFAO! 7.62 of just about any type will do just fine.

Re: South African .308 1120 rounds for $496
 

Not Indian from what I have read.or some Israeli.

Re: South African .308 1120 rounds for $496
 

Thats why I said "just about". :wink:

Re: South African .308 1120 rounds for $496
 

I understand.

Anyone ever used Wolf .308?

Steel cased I believe.

Re: South African .308 1120 rounds for $496
 

Yes, Silver Bear 140 soft point...for my Saigas. Muy bueno.

I like Lithuanian NATO. 1000 round case for $520 delivered...brass cased and reloadable...for FALs.

Re: South African .308 1120 rounds for $496
 

How would that run in an HK91? Anyone have any thoughts/experience? Lithuanian in an HK91?

Re: South African .308 1120 rounds for $496
 

I remeber buying Radway green and Port 1000/round cases for $150 or less.....

Amazing how much ammo has gone up.

Re: South African .308 1120 rounds for $496
 

Just looking at the Lithuanian that I've got it's pretty nice, actually nicer than the SA stuff I've shot in the past and I've have nothing but great success with the SA stuff.

If you're worried buy 100 rounds and test it, that's half the fun....:wink:

Re: South African .308 1120 rounds for $496
 

Where did you hear about Israeli ammo being bad? I have several hundred rounds of IMI surplus and match and I've always thought it to be some of the best surplus around.

Re: South African .308 1120 rounds for $496
 

Israeli 308 is made with Winchester components as is their 5.56...never heard of any problems with either.

Re: South African .308 1120 rounds for $496
 

Certain headstamps had problems,you might try FAL Files.

Re: South African .308 1120 rounds for $496
 

Any more specific information? Headstamped TZ80 perhaps? Or from the 80's?

The Israeli 308 surplus I have is a mixed bag with various headstamps...I have shot some out of my FALs, M1As, HKs with no problems to date, although the brass is nice and shiny and looks like it may have been tumbled to clean it...:thumpdown

Re: South African .308 1120 rounds for $496
 

Sorry.
I never paid attention beyond some Israeli ammo had problems because I have no Israeli ammo.

Re: South African .308 1120 rounds for $496
 

my favorite flavor is still '06

Re: South African .308 1120 rounds for $496
 

I've heard that some SA .308 is corrosive. Is that true?

Re: South African .308 1120 rounds for $496
 

I think it's just the primers.........not 100% sure though. :wink:

SA45 45ACP South African 220gr FMJ
 

Has anyone had any experience with the SA45 45ACP South African 220gr FMJ (at Wideners for $15.95/50 or $279/1000)? It is tinned up nicely and I was thinking of getting some to compliment my disaster-day stash of tinned up Wolf 9mm. Any input would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!!

Re: South African .308 1120 rounds for $496
 

Never heard of any of South African R1M1 7.62 Nato being corrosive...

Re: South African .308 1120 rounds for $496
 

Just shot 100 rnds of SA through an M1A Socom 16, no failures whatsoever. Goes bang, pretty decent groups for a short barrel as well.

Re: South African .308 1120 rounds for $496
 

IIRC it was TZ-89 or thereabouts. Lots of split cases. Sold as Loose machine gun ammo. Stuff I saw was grungy but could be tumbled to look better.
