Ammo for S/A M53 converted to 7.62x51

My stash of milsurp 7.62x51 NATO (Lithuanian, DAG, Malaysian) is getting low, so I'm looking for some decent ammunition to use in my WLA M53 with the 7.62 NATO conversion parts. I'm dubious about sources that use soft primers, but what do you fine folks recommend? Decent milsurp is hard to find right now, so what about commercial?
Thanks,
Bryan

I'm also interested in hear some answers on this one. Anyone out there got a source that they are willing to share?
I believe that there might be a thread on this, ammo supplies on the site.

I've been considering trying some new made Wolf or Brown bear...anyone tried either in their S/A M53?

I tried some brown bear 308 in my FA 42. After 20 rounds I gave up. About 25% had the primers come out. Not good!!!

Try the Pakistani 308, it comes in a 250 rd can, and it is all belted in 5ea, MG3/42 belts, with one starter tab.
,,,,The primers are hard, and all the rounds do fire well.
....I think Cheaper han Dirt still has it, for $129. a can.

Thanks for the info on the .308.
It was good to meet you at the "Jungle Walk" at the creek on Friday afternoon Oct 2012.
