I'm about to pick up my first .308 today (Smith & Wesson M&P-10 Sport). What's good to go as far as ammo?
What's the standard bullet weight for .308? What are the differences between .308 and 7.62x51mm?
I'm wanting to buy at least several hundred rounds of some decent, brass-case ammunition. I don't have to have match grade, and I don't want junk either. Something that will be decent quality (maybe 6 on a scale of 1-10). I'm not opposed to going for a 1000-round case if it's a good deal.
Looking at AmmoSeek, it looks like brass case, milsurp .308 starts at around 38 cents/round, with Lake City M80 ball (147g) at $.40/round when you buy 1000 rounds (not including shipping).
Anyway, what's your go-to ammo choice for .308/7.62x51mm? Preferred source?
