So what was your guys' final opinion for this stuff? Is it first tier like Port, Austalian, Agentinian and South African? How does it compare in terms of accuracy with the above. Finally, Century arms sells the stuff for $135.00 a case think. Anexperience on their shipping charges? |
Yeah and people making comments on something they havent tried makes sense also right? I bought 2k of it and i have fired maybe 3-400 rounds other than having to adjust the gas setting on my fal it worked fine. I would put it on par with the argentinan and maybe port. Its worth gettingif the price is good. I paid $119 per k for mine when century had it on sale |

The UK Mil used Pakistani ammo as a contract buy in the mid 80's, mainly 9mm and some 7.62mm. All of it was awfull, it got banned from being used, and dumped in the Irish Sea! Inconsistant powder charges and poor quality control. If the ammo you are looking at is 90's then you could hope that it might have improved, as I have not fired any later lots of it. However....... |
It was about 2-2.5moa out of a chrome lined LRB with me behind it, so someone better could probably shoot it better. Still 2-2.5 is OK for blasting IMHO |
I think I'll check out a few boxes and see. Was the stuff you bought from a big box like the stuff they sell in Sportsmanguide? |
I actually got the stuff I shot from Sportmansguide. If you're still not sure, just get the 250rd order and if you think it sucks, you didn't lose as much as if you got a case |

Bought some from Century. Headstamps are late 70's/early 80's. The stuff seems well made. Bullets and primers are sealed and there is a good crimp on both. Accuracy is ok, a little dirty, but no FTF in the first 100 rnds through a PTR-91. The only bad thing about it is that storage conditions were not the greatest so there is some small spots of corrosion on some cases. Nothing I would consider unsafe, have shot off ammo that was much worse. Long story short, good ammo for plinking and like it better than the argy stuff on the market, but I wouldn't buy it to store away for a rainy day like the aussie, hirt, RG, port, or SA ammo. Anecdote: Was shooting both the paki and argy stuff through the PTR. One of the mags I was testing out was allowing the last round to nosedive, which resulted in the bullet ramming into the end of the barrel below the chamber. The argy round had the bullet pushed back into the case when this happened. Tried the same thing with the paki ammo trying to chamber the last round three different times. The round never did chamber but the bullet was not even slightly pushed back into the case. |
