Milsurps / Prohib Sometimes gunpost deals are the bomb.

Picked up this crate for an absolute steal. Far cheaper than anything I was able to find on the online sites.

There may be a lot of over priced stuff on there but sometimes you find a diamond in the rough.

Does this qualify for a milsurp tag?

Which rifle is this for?

Tikka t3x ace game in .308. Just some cheap plinking ammo for range days.

I am no expert, so feel free to dismiss my comment, but in the tikka manual it says not to use steel cased ammo in the rifle.

As far as im aware, its mostly just due to it causing more barrel wear. And being a bit harder on the extractor. But im seeing conflicting information. It seems to shoot just fine for me. But I will absolutely be keeping an eye out on it.

I only use these on my cheap savage, first 700ish are ok, after that the extraction is hell.
