    I have bought a lot of projectiles off this guy ReloadingInternational.com I was also going to buy 284 brass off him but it ended up better buying brass locally (Lapua) and necking up. For your 6.8 I don't know how his price compares? You need to spend up to just under the gst kicking in thresshold for the deal to be viable.

    wilhelm in chch had 6.8 brass at a reasonable price , i think it is difficult to get brass ex US without an export permit , brownells require one. I put an adjustable gas block on my AR, easier to find them and it tones down the action, should solve the damage issue. PTK

    I'm getting a whole bunch of 308 brass sent to me at the moment (in fact it should be waiting for me at work tomorrow if all goes well).

    It helps having a mate in the US through... as he's sending it over. There's no issues with getting it in at our end anyway. I've already spoken to the arms officer.

    Problem is, once shipping is taken into account, it's not often cheaper. 223 and 308 are worth it but that's because they're so darn cheap over there... but not 7mm08.

    I get my 6.8SPC brass from reloading international. If your going to use this AR for hunting a 300blk is a step down as the 6.8 shoots flatter and has better terminal performance. The 300 does have its advantages though...
