1000 Rounds of 148gr FMJ 308 Win Ammo by German Military Surplus

This 308 Win cartridge very is affordably priced because it sat around for at least a couple of decades before the German military decided they didn’t want it. The round’s 148 grain bullet is comprised of a lead core fitted with a cupronickel jacket. The somewhat unique material its jacket is made of is magnetic owing to the iron and/or manganese added to strengthen it, and it’s hard enough to maintain your rifle’s accuracy over the course of an extended shooting session.

These rounds sport brass casings. Their headstamps have been shaved off as part of the requirements that had to be satisfied to prepare them for commercial sale, but you can clearly tell their caliber from the printing along their sides. While you’ll almost certainly spot a little oxidation on these rounds, that their primers are non-corrosive means they’re still ready for action. Note that these are Berdan primers, however, and therefore unworthy of a handloader’s gentle care and affection once ignited.
