.308/7.62x51 is the common caliber used in our Military Sniper files, besides the 50BMG used in the AR-50.

140,000 rounds ain't that much.

That's like a years worth of training rounds for 140 snipers.

They'd need a lot more to do any real damage.

Besides MOST DHS snipers are like SWAT snipers. Not snipers, just a good shots. A real sniper is totally different.

It is the most popular sniper round. It's also known as the 7.62x51 NATO round.

 Quoting: Rogue Coder


168grA-MAX is *the* preferred ammo for sniping with a .308 rifle.

What a huge order...This will suck the market dry. Period.

If you are an accurate shooter and can wait for the shot then you don't need thousands of rounds. If you just throw lead down range and hope one hits then you will go thru a lot of ammo

Thank You for so openly stating your complete ignorance of rifles and ammunition.
We do not learn from history because our studies are brief and prejudiced. In a surprising manner, 250 years emerges as the average length of national greatness. This average has not varied for 3,000years. The stages of the rise and fall of great nations seem to be:
The Age of Pioneers , The Age of Conquests ,The Age of Commerce ,The Age of Affluence ,The Age of Intellect ,The Age of Decadence.
Decadence is marked by: Defensiveness, Pessimism, Materialism,Frivolity An influx of foreigners The Welfare State A weakening of religion. Decadence is due to: Too long a period of wealth and power, Selfishness Love of money ,The loss of a sense of duty.
The life histories of great states are amazingly similar, and are due to internal factors. Their falls are diverse, because they are largely the result of external causes. - Sir John Glubb The Fate of Empires
We are at the end of the Age of Decadence heading into COLLAPSE

Re: DHS now ordering over 140,000 SNIPER ROUNDS
.308 is not really a "Sniper Round." It's a common round found in a large variety of hunting, target, and tactical/military firearms. Sometimes it's shot with bolt action, sometimes with semi auto, sometimes with belt fed automatic. Same can be said of 5.56. Technically the same can be said of .22lr.

Calling this a "Sniper Round" is just trying to push a fear based agenda to scare. If they were buying 140k rounds of .50BMG, or .338 Lapua, then you could say they were buying exclusively Sniper or Anti Personnel rounds. Hell, .308 could be used for shooting nuisance wild board at airports for all we know.

Department for Hebre... sry, Homeland Security is the main fighting force to be used against american patriots and christians. And not a single american politician protests!

The banksters have armed them to the teeth. Now they only have to send the unruly part of the US military abroad to die once again fighting an illegal war based on their zio lies. At the same time they will start the genocide on white christians. Ok course they need to set of a series of false flags blamed on patriots and constitutionalists first.

You better start rocking the boat like crazy soon. Wake people up to what is happening!

Yeah - "Sniper" is the most mis-used word these days. There's a lot more to "sniping" than just hitting the target. "Sharpshooter" is a much more appropriate term, in the context of a DHS "REsponse Team".

And FWIW, "real" snipers shoot way more than 1,000 rounds each year in training. Hell, I have put 100+ rounds down range in a single day, over the course of a 12 mile patrol exercise. The guys with M4s and M249s dumped several thousand rounds that day.

250 rounds a day X 5 days is typical when you're on a range for pre-qual proficiency, and you do that every year with *at least* one weapon system, to maintain qualification.

Try putting over 1,000 rounds down range in a week with a Barrett 107...

I keep hearing about all these large Ammo purchases but, it's always been the same thing for 22 years. The amounts are larger because our gov is larger and more complex, it's nothing to worry about.. 100% GUARANTEE MOST IF NOT ALL AMERICANS NO MATTER THE BRANCH WILL NOT TURN ON IT'S CITIZENS HERE IN OUR COUNTRY. They wouldn't have a chance for success and they would lose all control and power, I don't think they will do this. Also, if they did try something as stupid as this the citizens would rise up and take control.

Exactly. We did a training thing with the local PD (Austin, TX to be exact) and the SWAT "Snipers" were barely hitting the targets at 500 meters that we were tagging with peep sights.

When we trained in the army, we got like 200 rounds per day each to fire. 200 rounds per man, times 500 men is a battalion (battalion's actual range from 300 to like 1000 troops), times 3 battalions per brigade, times 3 brigades = one divisions training rounds for a day is like a million rounds per day of training.

A million rounds per day of training. And that's just small caliber.
