I picked up 2 boxes of this for my 308 bolt gun. I think the gun shop employee said it was s and b. Is it junk ammo? Can I expect any decent accuracy with it?

I would watch out because the S&B surplus I have seen was corrosive.

check it, or clean accordingly.

you would be better off with some black hills, fed match or many other offerings than the cheapest available

I have quite a few boxes of federal gm ,but this is my first 308 rifle so I didn't want to use up all my match ammo getting used to the gun. The shop has some prvi match,il try that out.
