Inherited some Ammo. Headstamp 7.62 7-85 MAL. I am figuring Malaysian produced 7 of 1985. Any thoughts on the quality of this stuff?

I had a couple cases of it back in the 90's. Used it in my Mia, fwiw.
No complaints. Don't recollect any specifics with regards to accuracy, but I had no complaints. |

Malaysian's been pretty good stuff. I'd use it with confidence.

I bought all I could back in the day. And their parts kits, too!

Indian ammo will blow up your M-1A. They sweep up excess spilled powder off the floor and load it. Ask one of my friends. He gave me what was left of his M-1A.

I never had any issues with the Mal 5.56 or the 7.62. The only thing I noticed on the 7.62/308 was the case necks has a sharp edge to it that you could feel.

Ball ammo is hideous on target. As far as going bang and putting holes in stuff it works fine.
It's not going to hurt your rifle if that's your concern. |

Never had any issues out my FAL or PTR, I don't think you'd have any issues out of your m1a either. Should be decent plinking ammo
