7.62x51 (308) ammo

[WNYBuckHunter]

I have 1000 (50 boxes of 20) rounds of 7.62x51 fmj ammo that I will probably never use. I’m looking to get $10/box for it, which is a little less than it is online. I would Prefer to sell it all at once, but may be willing to do 2 lots of 25.

7.62x51 is equal to .308  not x54. Any idea were those rounds came from?

Is it 7.62x54R?

Milsurp stuff.  Can be questionable.  My Mosin is sorta picky, seems to like the new stuff better than the old milsurp.  FWIW, and I don't mean to be contrary, but you can buy new, more reliable ammo for less than that - example:

Sorry, if that breaks the rules, please delete my comment.

Doesn’t look like it. The 54r has a rim.

Yeah, I think you're right.  Maybe it's x51.  Which would make more sense I guess since it says NATO.  

Be fun to shoot some of it and see how it does.

Sorry, typo. it is 51, same as 308. Ive gone through about 10 of the boxes that I originally had to break in a rifle before I sighted it in with hunting rounds. Not a single misfire.

My father bought 1500 rounds of it back in the late 90s. Between himself and I, we burned up 500 rounds. This is whats left.
