I've been poking around looking at 7.62x51 and 8mm. What would you recommend for 7.62x51?

What would you recommend for 7.62x51

Shotgun news. :) I kind of forget where I got the case (wooden with multiple plastic "battle packs" inside) of Portuguese stuff. Natchez Shooters Supply perhaps, somewhere in that part of the country anyway. I bought a bunch of .30 Carbine from a place in New York, IIRC. It was German made, and it all went bang when it should have, so far anyway, I've still got a couple of boxes left. It's what I shot at the memorial shoot I mentioned above. I've also got some soft point ammo in the .30 Carbine as well, it's what the Carbine has in it when I've got it setting beside my computer table. :)

Look around for the military surplus (British, Portuguese, South African, whatever) and buy a pack of each. Test it in your rifle and see what it likes, then buy thousands of rounds from the same batch, same source.

Tell the sellers you are doing this, so they can be sure to get the sample from an ample lot that will be there for a few weeks. They might even set aside a few thousand rounds for you for a few weeks.

And if using Cheaper Than Dirt, use the following link, which helps support a very good operation. http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-2013077-10277519

Try this fella. He pays the shipping, which can get pretty steep when youy buy by the case.
