.308 Bullets - 1K for $145 shipped - Good deal?

[Fullauto_Shooter]

Seller has a large quantity of .308 Israeli 147gr FMJ M80 bullets.

Ad states these bullets have been AIR pulled and 99.9% have NO PULL MARKS. Seller states these bullets are NOT magnetic.

500 for $75 shipped

1000 for $145 shipped

2000 for $285 shipped

3000 for $422 shipped

Per the posted pic in the ad, the bullets have either no or very light pull marks. Is this a good deal for .308 close-range (200 yards and less) hoser bullets?

If you want hoser bullets...I can't think of a better deal.

If you're looking for any kind of accuracy, say, less than 2moa, you might consider a different bullet.

Wideners is cheaper for 2K M80 145gr, new, not pulled, $266 shipped. I guess 2k is what fits in the USPS flat rate box.

If you are looking for Match bullets, this is a decent deal:

I've had some problems with Israeli surplus over the years. There are a lot of reports on the Internet of case failures with Israeli 7.62x51 surplus. My brother had one also. My impression is that the Israelis surplus ammo for a reason. Who knows, the bullets may be from cartridges where the problem was with case case, but I believe you can be sure the bullets were from a lot of different Lots of ammo, resulting in accuracy issues.

Not quite so much can go wrong with bullets, and some of us do not want to pay a premium for hoser bullets that will be blasted into the ground at roughly 0-25 yards. That said, the Nosler bullets do hit a nice price point, and those are cheaper at Powder Valley.

Thanks Lee - an even better price!
