I've never used the SA surplus as I've still got a lot of the FNM. The FNM shoots 1 3/4-2 inches out of my AIA No4Mk4, but I haven't shot it out of my M305 yet.

How do those M305's look and shoot? I was thinking about buying one, but I don't know anybody that has one, I don't want to put out the money without hearing someone else's opinion first.

I picked up a couple of cases of SA quite awhile ago. For me it will shoot 1-2" off the bench in slow twists say 1/12 1/13.5. I'm not sure what it will do with the faster twists. In one case I built a P/H sniper knock off using all PH parts and that rig shoot a .375" group off the bench with SA ball, HTH-SDH

For $400 they are not bad at all. Fun to plink with and someguys go hog wild with upgrades.Have heard of problems with some though with out of alignment barrels/sights, cracked parts. So far no problem with mine.

Sure would beat three grand for an M1A, unless I win the lotto. But I see TRADE-EX now has SVT40's. I may never have money to spare......

If you don't want the SA, you'll either have to scrounge other surplus up, or switch to commercial ammo or handloads.
Canada Ammo is supposed to have surplus 5.56 and 7.62 coming in the near(ish) future. No idea what make/origin it is, but it's supposed to be $300/1000 shipped.

I've used the SA in my m305 and it works good for me. Was there any indication as to where the 7.62 will be from - is it SA?
I hope that Canada Ammo will also have some 7.62 x 54r in soon as well...
