Looks like Portuguese, good quality.

I'd put that away for a "rainy day".

It's Berdan primed and a match grade bullet....it's very good stuff and you did good for today's prices.

I paid 1.25 a round the other day, that stings a bit.

Nice.

You've just reminded me that I've got 3 or 4 of the PPU battle packs from 44s' years stashed away somewhere.

That's cheap. My general hunting round is costing me 2.25 a round. Elk round 3.20. They only get range time as hunting season approaches. Until then, reloads.

I scored some older 7.62 for 50 cents round for plinking. For 308 I need to reload. I did not own a 308 when cheap bulk was flowing. I was stocking up on 30-06

I used to buy those at gun shows for $40 back in the day

I used to buy 7.62x39 for a $1.25 a box and 8mm for .05 cents a round.

I had a bunch of those at one time. Shot em all up.
I'm trying to remember which type of surplus 7.62NATO was a squib the first time I brought my .308 M1 to the range. I want to say it was Santa Barbara. I was pissed, as I only had one clip through the gun when midway through the next one, it went click no bang. Took me a minute to figure out what was happening and I had no rod with me to bang the bullet out.
That was the first time I'd ever experienced a squib with factory ammo.

Definitely Port. Early 2000s gunshow price here in NH was $130/1000.

Yep, that’s what I paid, delivered in a wooden case. I didn’t even want to mention the price we paid back then, it’s so sad these days.

I used to get it for free!

Seriously though I remember $75 a case for x39. Went it went up to $100 I was pissed..Then there was a 5.56 panic and all the AR fanboys started converting to x39 and drove up the price.

The price it is now I won't pay, I just shoot my AK a lot less.

Dang, could use some of that!
Nice score!
