Looking for 7.62x51 NATO brass
As the top line says, i have been struggling lately to find a source of 7.62 NATO brass preferably Lake City stuff. Just wanted to throw this out there and see if anyone knows a source of the good stuff

I have some South African, once fired brass. I think they are bredan (however you spell it) primed, which might not be what you want.
How much were you looking for??==============

Re: Looking for 7.62x51 NATO brass
Looking for 500-1000 pieces of boxer primed brass.
I have 500 pieces of 308win cases which work just fine but i dont get nearly as many reloads out of them. The military cases can actually stand up to the abuse from the M1/M1A extractor.
But since i have a good amount of 308 cases its not urgent.

Re: Looking for 7.62x51 NATO brass
This guy has .308 brass, no Lake City 7.62. The problem with almost all once fired LC is it was run thru an MG and pretty rough. 7.62 brass and 147 gr FMJ bullets are getting harder to find. What are you using it for, do you need NATO? .308 will work OK unless you have a real loose military chamber and then the .308 brass may split. I have LC but I get it loaded and save the brass for reloading. SA is Berdan primed, no good for reloading unless you have access to primers and can de-prime it, other than that, it's great brass. I would think; with what's going on in the world and all the training our troops are doing we would be knee deep in the stuff, but we're not.

Re: Looking for 7.62x51 NATO brass

A lot of the suppliers are out or low on LC components.
Did a quick search on E-bay though and there is quite a bit of brass on there for sale..
