Are any Non-comm. reviews of "Reman" .308 ammo avail.?

[Ignition Override]

No luck finding any "non-commercial" reviews. Maybe the name Reman indicates various remanufactured brands.

Have any of --You-- actually used it in a semi-auto .308 rifle?

I have zero interest in how accurate it is. Don't waste your time on this.

--------Does it function reliably enough for range plinking use?

 

[Jerry M]

Doesn't 'Reman' mean reloads, as in remanufactured?

Reman=Remanufactured=Reloads=Brass has been fired at least once.
What's the ammo you're talking about?

 

[Ignition Override]

Yes. 308 Win 147 gr FMJ Reman - Clearance (ammovalley.com) I had assumed that most people use Ammoseek, instead of paying more $$ per round, which you usually do, if shopping in local stores.

I wasn’t sure whether any company had adopted the abbreviation as a single, specific corporate brand.

Apparently it can be anything. I’m not gonna buy any of it.

The Cheapest brass-cased ammo makes it a challenge to know whether a FAL has an internal gas leak, because the — Armscor —brand is very weak— even With the gas Vent covered.

FAL owners can understand.

If all you are trying to do is troubleshoot your FAL, just buy a box or two of good factory ammo. Once you figure out your FAL, then you can worry about feeding it.

As far as buying remanufactured ammos... I'd buy a test lot of it before I jumped in whole hog. They have a 250 count of 'plinker' HPBT ammos in .308 for $185... that's pretty inexpensive... and see how it works... AFTER, mind you, I had sorted out my rifle.

Hopefully not.

 

[Conelrad]

I'd at least check with any vendor of reloads to see if they have adequate insurance to cover any rifle damage caused by their product.

If not, buy not.

I've never shot any ammovalley remans, or any commercial remanufactured 308 for that matter, but I do shoot a lot of 5.56 and 9mm remans and have never had any issue with any of them. In fact I actually prefer some of the remans over some "factory" rounds.

I have had great experience with Freedom Munitions over a wide array of calibers. Buy with confidence.

Agree. I bought some 6.5 CM from them; excellent plinking ammo.

I shoot a remanufactured .223 round from Black Dot Ammo in Alabama through my Savage 110. 55 grain, VMax. Silly accurate., no failures to fire or load. Their claim is that it is " Sub-MOA capable". I`m witness to the fact that indeed it is.

Never heard of them before, I'll have to give them a try.

They have a web site. With .223, you can get a bag of 50 of the 55 grain VMax rounds. I load single rounds at the range, so I can`t honestly say how they might feed from a magazine.

The only remanufactured ammo I would trust is Black Hills. A fellow club member was trying to shoot some remanufactured .308 ammo he had purchased at the local Sportsman’s Warehouse and was having all kinds of trouble with it not chambering and finally gave up and gave me the 85 or so rounds he had left. I brought it home pulled the bullets, the powder charges varied by as much as 4 grains, the brass was not sufficiently sized, and most of the cases were over maximum length.
Guess I should disclose the manufacturer, it was Grizzly Cartridge out of Rainier, Oregon.

Thanks very much.

Some online vendor has Lithuanian surplus 7.62 NATO. Could try a few boxes, later order much more. Sidenote: Lithuania had acquired Swedish or Nor. G3 rifles.

Maybe this has better consistency than typical, lower-priced civilian .308.

Plenty of FAL builders used tons of N surplus over the past decades-mostly when prices were ‘better’/ adjusted to dollar “values”.
