Locations
The .308 Caliber Round, essentially the civilian version of the well-known 7.62x51mm NATO round, is the third rarest small guns ammunition found in the game, next to .44 round, magnum, and the BBs; very few enemies carry sniper rifles, and many are located in hard to reach places or have only a small number of rounds to be looted. A notable sniper is Arkansas in Minefield. The hunting rifle largely provides the same effect while using the much more common .32 caliber round, making the sniper rifle and variants limited in effectiveness until the player gathers a stockpile of ammunition.

Operation Anchorage offers unlimited ammo. When you restock your ammo drop it and restock again, then drop your ammo again and so on. If you do it for about 15 min. you will have 5000-7000. Then use the Operation Anchorage glitch to get it out of the simulator.

Vendors

 * Various vendors such as Chief Gustavo, Flak and Shrapnel, Knight Captain Durga, Karl, Moira Brown and others will sell this ammo.
