I didn't have time to go to the gun shop this week, so I told my father to buy me some 7.62 ammo when he goes. I expected some Portuguese or South African surplus, but he bought the ammo you can see in the pictures. I'm just wondering what exactly it is. Like you can see, the box says "Made in the UK". And the on the cartridge is written ".308 Win. WM BULLETS 13". That surprised me since the shop owner said it was surplus military ammo (and I've never met a person who knows more about firearms, especially rifles and reloading, than him) and the price indicates the same thing.
So I thought I'd ask you guys and girls if you know more about his ammo? It looks like some pretty decent stuff. If I can make it to the range today, I will try it out in my FAL. It should work fine, as far as I know the brits 7.62 rifles were FALs too
It came in this 100 round cardboard box. Unlike factory commercial ammo, the cartridges were just piled up in the box and not in some plastic forms to hold them in position.
