.308 hoser round

[caz41]

Anyone try either of these for a .308 hoser type round? They are both listed as non-corrosive and are under 50 cents a round. Anyone using something else?

I bought 5,000 rounds of the german ammo and it shoots very lightly... it may not run your gun correctly. I've found the lake city 147 tends to shoot a little stouter and function my .308 more reliably... but that could just be my gun. It's a 14.5" .308 with a mid-length gas system. If it runs in your gun then it is pretty great stuff for the price.

Not specifically the ammo you posted, but I have had some surplus not go bang in my DPMS .308 because of the very hard primer. Sometimes it's MG ammo that's been delinked. My .308 has a JP trigger for the .308 in it but I use the stock hammer spring and it still doesn't go off. So if you have a modified trigger group, some surplus may not run 100%.

Just my findings. Your results may be different.

How about these? Anybody got any experience with them? They are a little more money.

Kind of high for hoser ammo. It's on the slow side too.

Here's Federal and PMC 150g for under .60/round, and American Eagle 168g OTM for .75/round.

i handload a 110 gr. carbine bullet with the same powder measurement as my match HPs. carbine bullets run about 9cents a round.

.37/round, that is about as cheap as I can reload them for. It is made in Russia so it may just be a Wolf/Brown Bear knock off.
