    Source for 7.62 NATO non magnetic milsurp ammo?

    My gun club prohibits magnetic bullets. Is there a source of non magnetic 7.62 NATO milsurp ammo?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Swagman....
    I shoot on my own range, so I can shoot anything I want. How much milsurp 7.62 Nato do you have, and are you interested in selling it? I just bought a new M1Aicon, and need some reasonably-priced ammo

    Try contacting Marstar to see if their incomming 7.62x51 will be magnetic or not.

    Sgt Possom, Claven2, and All,
    Thanks for your replys and interest. I'll keep the magnetic milsurp I have. I'm lucky enough to belong to two clubs, one of which allows the magnetic stuff.
    A possible solution: Does anyone have experience with milsurp PRACTICE ammo?
    Here is a source Dan's Sporting Goods Ammo Page
    that claims accuracy out to 300 m. Since I want to do three position paper punching at 100 yds, this might work.
    I'd appreciate any and all comments.
    Thanks,
    Swagman

    Hello All,
    Following up on my 12-1-08 post:
    I purchased 50 rds of practice 7.62 NATO from Dan's and took it to the range yesterday. It behaved pretty much like ball ammo at 50 and 100 yds. There was less recoil and noise, as one might expect. As soon as I can get to my club that allows magnetic ammo I'll do a real comparison.
    No one at the range yesterday had ever seen this stuff, and it generated a lot of interest and comment.
