Affordable match components?

[Alex49]

I need to find a source for match brass and projectiles in .308/7.62x51. Didn't the DCM program used to sell this stuff? I know that I can go to most reloading suppliers, but cost is a factor and I would love to find the best for the least. Any chance?:

Prices are pretty standard for components. Bullets usually run about $20 per 100 (Sierra Matchkings), primers about $3 or so depending on your location, and brass can be had for free. Powder prices will vary depending on your choice. I have stuck with IMR 4895 and been pretty satisfied with the results, a can runs from $15 to $20.
Back to the brass, see if your local PD can offer some. When we shoot, a ton of Federal Match brass is left over and collected for another shooter.
Email me, I probably have a bunch of it for a good price.

Alex, give these a try: http://www.rvow.com , http://www.gibrass.com . For new stuff, I have found IMI brass at http://www.wideners.com to be very good but more expensive. Champion Shooters Supply has some good prices on Sierra bullets at http://www.championshooters.com

The _BEST_ .308 brass is Lapua. It's about $40/hundred, but worth it. After all, you're gonna be loading it a buncha times, right? It is the _MOST_ uniform stuff out there...

Didn't have to weight sort it.
Didn't have to trim it.
Didn't have to mess with the flash hole.
Didn't have to uniform the primer pocket.
Didn't have to neck turn it (factory chamber).
Did have to chamfer and deburr, but hey, it was SMOOTH.

If Lapua makes brass for a calibre, that's what I use.
