Brassman is good but a bit overpriced in my book. You can find 308 brass on a lot of forums for less but it may not be polished already. I prefer to buy unpolished brass, simply because you can hide a multitude of sins by polishi9ng brass, and unpolished lets you see exactly what condition the brass is in. A while back I bought some oddball rifle brass that was advertised as once fired and polished. What I got was polished on the outside but much of it showed corrosion inside the cases and in the primer pockets. Lesson learned.

The government surplus brass is probably all minigun or machine gun brass. If you think about it, they don't really have any 308 rifles left any more except a few sniper rifles.

well, i got the brass. they sent me 510 cases, which was good because 6 were damaged.
man was the brass hard to resize. but in the end my right arm prevailed and its all sized, trimmed, chamferred, and the primer crimp is removed.

to sum up, id buy from them again if i couldnt find a better deal.
oh, and the price was like 100$ for 500 cases, they threw in the polishing for 1.70$. shipping was quick.

Yeah they are good but the problem I have is you paid 20 cents per. I just bought 5,000 rounds of 5.56 from another source for 4.7 cents per on another forum. It definitely pays to shop around.
