Do you mean 7.62 Nato round?
Im not aware of Robar having a odd caliber that you mention.
If it is 7.22.... um....... ill try to find some dies and info on them.
If its a 7.62 Nato.. i already have all the goodies for that caliber. AKA .308 Winchester.

im not sure what size it is and my thermometer says 42 outside right now.... so ill check tomorow....
I know it was an ex- swat team rifle... my uncle got it because he is a retired swat team spotter.
if it was a service rifle could that be why the size is off... or am i just crazy and ill feel like an *** when i see the crate tomorrow

You threw me for a loop there for a second!!
Um ill add it all up tomorrow. Its very easy once you break the ice. I can start from scratch and have all my dies set up, Powder thrower set and load about 100rds in about 2 hours. I take my time and check every 5th powder charge. Even if all of them are exact i still check them, PARANOID! Oh well. Its not like i have anything else to do. Ill surely load ya some and send'em your way. Ill give ya a quote tom. If you send me all your Brass it will cut the price in half or more. I dont think there are any laws about shipping small quanities of ammo. I order alot from Midwayusa.com.
I can Handload some Reduced Loads. Its fun to shoot too! .308, 21grs of "4759" behind a 147gr FMJ nets a BLAZING ~1650fps. Dont worry its in my reloading book so its not dangerous or harmful. In my .22-250, 11grs of "4759" behind a 55gr FMJ it nets a wooping ~1650fps.

Winchester 30 Caliber 147 Grain Full Metal Jacket Boat Tail Box of 100 = $13.99
=$0.13 per round
Lets just say we use Hogdon H335 (same stuff i use in my .223 loads) Bass pro shop has the cheapest prices. i think its $16.95 per Pound. 1 Pound will load aprox 160 rounds, with one round holding 43grains
= $0.10 per round.
Primers, CCIs usually run about $19.95 per 1000.
=~$0.02 Per Round
Brass, Once-Fired Brass 308 Winchester Grade 1 Box of 100 = $13.99
=$0.13 per Round
First time you fire one of these rounds it will cost you $0.38
Second time you fire one of these rounds it will cost you $0.25 because you have already paid for the Brass the first time and now your just using Bullet, Powder, Primer.
Now thats just a Plinking round. If you wanted a Super Accurate round, you might look at something like this.
Nosler Ballistic Tip Bullets 30 Caliber 150 Grain Spitzer Box of 50 = $14.29
Or
Hornady A-Max Bullets 30 Caliber 155 Grain Box of 100 = $21.99
Ive heard of some good results with these bullets.
Nosler Custom Competition Bullets 30 Caliber 155 Grain Hollow Point Boat Tail Box of 100 = $19.97
=$0.13 per round
