Greek brass is good. If you can find it for .308. for .30-06 it's great.

The PMC brass in .308 is real good,it's made to Mil-specs. It has proved to be real strong, ive gotton some real tight groups from it with alot of different powders. Keep in mind it has less internal volume then commercal brass thus reduce your loads by a couple grains
