TOS has 840 rounds in south african battle packs for $475 which works out to about .56 cents a round. DONT think your gonna find it any cheaper than that. Im interested but aint heading north for it so any issaquah / northern folks wanna split and meet when its convenient???

As Jim said, it's loaded hot (surplus ammo for crew serve weapons is my guess). While I do not know for certain that it will crack receivers and bolts, I know from my experience with it that it is ammo I would pass on. Extremely hard primers, dirty, questionable accuracy, and it is loaded on the very high side of spec. Even for that price, I will pass. There's a reason it is being off loaded on the cheap. I would trust only a few rifles with it. None of which are AR platform rifles. _________________ -A cowardly man thinks he will ever live, if warfare he avoids; but old age will give him no peace, though spears may spare him.

I bought a couple packs some time ago but have not opened one and let lead fly yet. I did some research before purchasing and like everything there were an anomaly or two in the reviews but most seemed decent enough So has anyone actually shot the stuff here??? chronoed, checked powder charge etc??? or is this all interwebs rumors? Yes i will and do heed your advice and that i find on the web but we all know to at least question what we find on the net

While I do not own or shoot the Ar/M-1A rifles, I've fired a LOT of South Afrikan ammo over the years, and never had any issues with it. I'm interested in what the guy has to sell, dependent upon the head stamp. I'd like to make sure it is in fact SA, and not Paki or Indian.

Only way to tell is head stamp or will the exterior of the pack allow us to decipher the origin?? Nevermind its been sold but still would like info on pack differences

Certain runs of the South African used some sort of black substance on the primers that will really gunk up a rifle as it goes thru the flash holes and into the weapon. It will play heck on a G3/91 fluted chamber. JLD used to not recommend it not sure if PTR Inc feels the same. South African is hardly a weapon killer. Indian, maybe. _________________ "Well, nobody's perfect." ― Osgood Fielding III WTB factory ammo 250 Savage (250-3000) any 375 H&H any 7x57 (7mm Mauser, 275 Rigby) 175's preferred
