I am out of good ammo, anyone know where I can find some .308 168 or 175gr

[dhawkins]

Also, if you are in the area, Crosshairs Tactical in Torrance had (last week) a lot of 7.62X51 147gr Winchester white box ammo for sale.

 

[dhawkins]

Just ordered some 155gr from DallasReloads.com. As an FYI- they have a lot of 155s, but are out of 168s.

Palmetto State Armory has some 168gr .308 Winchester American Eagle. It's their M1A load, but it's always been sub-MOA for me.

Lucky gunner just started offering some .308 on their website again.

Copper Creek is out of .308 right now. I have an order waiting to be filled there, which is about all you can do in this environment. Either pay the gouging prices or get in line with one of the good guys and wait your turn. Every now and then some FGMM will pop up on Palmetto State's website, but it's usually gone within 20 minutes.

They seem to be filling orderes fairly quickly. I ordered 15 boxes about a month ago and got them within two weeks. Good ammo!

My order was on February 11th, so I'm sure it'll be coming soon. I know they're busy right now, no worries.

Glad this thread is helping folks other than me find ammo!

 

[Rainier42]

Can't even find 30-30 hunting ammo at my local anymore, this just plain sucks!

Not much local for most folks, Hide members and online is the way to go right now. There some good ideas on the thread here for places to look.

 

[Goatman007]

I have adopted the "I won't shoot if I can't replace it" Theory. Since I reload all I shoot, I only shoot what I can reload, and my stocks are down since I reloaded everything I had when juggears became president 4 years ago.

 

[Knight6]

Thanks dhawkins for the info. Still looking, seems to have gotten preventing harder, especially as some firms have stopped reloading. So if anyone has updated info on who has new or can reload .308 win, match grade 175 or 168gr SMK. Or if you have ammo to sell let me know.

On a related topic does SMK have a G7 drag coefficient? Where do you find this information!

 

[bombadillo]

Check Ammunition Online at Factory Direct Prices | Freedom Munitions | Handgun Ammo & Rifle Ammo. They had 168gr HPBT match rounds, and Hornady 168gr A-Max rounds for about a buck a pop. They shot sub MOA for me out of my 5R and have once fired LC '08 brass for the most part. All the brass was really quality stuff.

 

[djarecke]

The local ammo shop near my home has Federal 175 BTHP ammo and I believe it was around $28.00 per 20 rounds. If you'd like, I can go grab some the next time I'm there!

 

[Knight6]

Thanks Bmbardillo. Djarecke, thanks for the offer. I had 3 Hiders help me out plus found a bunch at palmetto armory and a bunch more from Gunbot list. This will cover me for now, sank about 2k on ammo, all I can afford for a while. I think I will keep this thread going though for others, some great information from Hiders. So if anyone has additional info on where to get ammo at a decent price post it (if it ain't a family secret!). On the plus side I found getting ammo this time a lot easier than a few months back, hopefully this is a good omen.

Having a fine rifle and not reloading is akin to ordering a fine ribeye steak....and not having any teeth to eat it with!!

Champion's Choice - Product Catalog - Champions Choice 500 rounds just showed up yesterday, took a week to get here
