    Default Malaysian 308

    I see a bunch of it out there. $116 with free shipping on a 30 cal can with 300 rounds seems like a good price. Anyone shoot or know about it. Good deal or just average ?

    Supposed to be pretty good for military surplus ammo.

    Thanks, seems to be good stuff and .38.9 cents a round seems to be pretty good and a free can. Decisions, decisions - lol.

    I've seen it talked about on a few forums and most seem to like it and it seems to shoot well. Personally I would buy some if my ammo larder needed it but it doesn't. The only thing I heard negative was some folks got ammo slightly tarnished but otherwise it was fine.

    It’s berdan primed, so the case is scrap (for most people) after firing, that’s the .10-15 or so you are seeing in the cost difference compared to boxer primed 7.62x51.

    Never tried it, and if I didn't already have a buttload, I'd probably get some at that price.

    I want $29.99 SA battlepacks again.

    At 200 yards, shooting a M1A prone with a sling and iron sights, it will do 3MOA.
    I suspect it could do 2 MOA or better from a bench with a scope.

    I just bought some from SG Ammo. When I shoot it, I'll let you know how it does.

    Mine was received clean and untarnished.
