Thats a good deal, is it reloadable? non corrosive?, If it is non reloadable I do not even look at it.

[Magwa]

I will find out today i am going to go look at it and find out i was told it is sealed in wooden crate so we shall see i will report back..

[unforgiven]

I bought what I thought was a good deal from Sportsmans guide on .308 then found out after the fact that it was corrosive.Sold it at the gun show and was able to make the money back didn't run it through my Lar-8.

I still have some in a blue box , if I remember correctly & it was Berdan primed & mildly corrosive . Just clean your rifle when done shooting corrosive ammo & it should be fine .

I personally only buy boxer primed ,  because I'm a reloader.

[Magwa]

Ok went and looked at it and yes it is berdan primed and in one battle pack 200 rds about 40 had corrosion marks so i took out my knife and scraped at it and there is no corrosion more than 1thousands deep it is a surface stain the brass is fine....i can post pics if you would like for 99 bucks for 200 rds or 440 for a thousand it is not bad i would clean the rifle after use not sure if corrosive or not but i have to find some good ammo for a rainy day and for plinking and breaking in i will shoot some of this today and get back to this thread with the results..

Hi Magwa  I think thats not such a good deal.

Ive got some federal 762x51 (in the white box) new production for around same price if not cheaper...ill have to go back and look. we shoot the federal gold medal match 168 grain mostly,cause of distance....but yesterday I did an A B comparison with the federal 762 and it did quite nice  :)  Wash

Hiya Mag    Yep, its a great place to buy from!  Several months ago we were in Cabellas. we had a bunch of stuff  in the ol shopping basket...so we were in the ammo dept where the federal gold medal match was like 35 bucks a box..there was only three boxes on the shelf....long story short I made them price match palmetto's 19 dollar a box...they didnt want to,but they were eying all the crap we had in the basket! <lmao>
