I usually reload everything, but I was just looking, adding, and otherwise comparing, and decided I could pretty much buy surplus for what it costs me to reload it right now.  Or at least be so close that I wouldn't want to stand on the cold garage floor loading it for the difference.

So given the choice, and IF costs were equal, in what order would you buy:

Yugoslav/GGG
Lithuanian/Prvi
Australian

I'm assuming the Aussie would be last, since it's berdan primed (Isnt it?).

I just checked two sources of Aussie 7.62,and both list it as Berdan primed.
Different year or production plant being sold now perhaps?

I don't have any experience with the Aussie stuff, but have shot a bunch of the GGG and PPU.  They'll get you rifleman scores.

However, when you do actually decide to reload them, keep in mind that the GGG brass weighs the same as Lake City surplus ;D and the PPU weighs the same as commercial >:(.

 I believe the GGG is Lithuanian, the Prvi is Serbian, and the Aussie I have is definately berdan primed.

A lot of Igman (Yugoslavian) has hit the market in the last month or two.

The price is about the same as Prvi or GGG.

Any input?

Thanks, arpjoe.  Here's another link that does the same thing (just in case you haven't found it yet): ;)

I'm very please with the GGG/Litho .308 I just got from The Armory in Virginia Beach. $475/1000.  Shipping was about $25/1000 which included the wooden case which seems like a good deal to me.  See:  http://www.the-armory.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/308_Ammunition.html

Shipping to NC was ONE day; ordered Monday, received Tuesday.  Now THAT's cool!  I have no interest in this business, just wanted to share my results.  YMMV.

This is May 9, 2008

Does any one know of a source of 308 under $0.75 per round.  I have been calling this week and there is none.  I would settle for steel Wolf.  Help, I have this nice M1A and I cant shoot it. Enough!!!!

This likely has been posted before but here's another website that is regularly updated that shows all of the online ammo dealers, their stock and their pricing.  I think you'll find LOT'S of .308 for under .50/round.  Shipping seems to be the big hitch.  Shop around.  Some folks want $100 to ship 1000 rounds, others want just $25.   http://www.rifle-company.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=431
