Check out this stuff. Federal Gold Medal Match 308 Winchester Ammo 168 Gr Sierra MKHP
At 90 cent a round I would think it would be extremely good budget ammo.

I picked up some 51 brass at the gravrl pit a couple of weeks ago, about et 25% had beridian primers. I hsd to use a flashlight to look inside the cases to seperate the beridian ftom the boxer primed cases. I have extra if you are looking for just brass to reload for breaking in your gun. I can count what I have when I grt home.

Winchester has some 150 Gr tipped power points that are quite good, and can be had through Bi-Mart for around $13 a box if you watch the sales! Same with Sportsmans!

ZQI was my favorite at $10 a box for 762X51
Rare as hens teeth now.

Careful if you go Hertenberger, as most is Berdan primed. A few years are boxer, I believe 1979 & newer. Also the primers are crimped, so you'd need to deal with that (not a big deal really, but an extra step).
PPU (Priv Partisan) has pretty decent brass, and they make a wide range of ammo. Including decently priced 7.62 M80 ball. Usually $.50-$.60/rd, although a few places had it under $.50 recently.
Best deal on PPU was Palmetto State Armory over the weekend, under $.50 shipping included I believe. They sold out. Likely will be back there.
Currently at Sgammo (great to deal with & family owned business, highly recommend):
500 Round Case - 7.62x51 M80 FMJ BT 145 Grain Ammo by Prvi Partizan - PPN762B | SGAmmo.com
$239.50 + $16ish shipping for 500 = ~ $.51/rd ish. Pretty decent price from a well known, respected distributor.
Also he has Magtech at similar. No experience with Magtech in 7.62/.308, so can't say yea or nay.

I've been in the process of buying a lot of 308 from SGammo.com
I also highly recommend them as they're cost competitive, ship quickly, and I have confidence if there was ever an issue it'd be fixed.
I also pop for the insurance on the multi-hundred dollar purchases.
That being said Aguila makes some pretty decent M80 ball and the brass is nice.

Wait, so you have a new rifle you're about to break in, that's I'll presume isn't some Savage Axis junk, and you're afraid to spend a few extra dollars? Reminds me of a friend that has well over 100K in his offshore boat, then becomes upset that herring was $8.00 a tray at the marina. He picked one heck of a time to become a tightwad.

I feed my scar17s cheap milsurp stuff, I get it. The rifle loves that cheap milsurp stuff.
For a high class broad, she's definitely low maintenance.

If you are close to Arlington you are welcome to come over and load up some 308. I have extra brass and 308 dies.
Actually dies for about forty different calibers.

If I was close, I'd take you up on that.
Your old school hospitality is a nice gesture.
Problem being, I'm a minimum 3 hours away.
