BUT––I recall some Korean PS .30M2 Ball had a lots with "issues" reported by another ARFComer: Prior AR15 Post of 28 July 2009: FWIW (This is not my post––this is another shooter's views) "Here is a list of known bad lots. Just because a particluar lot isnt listed as bad doesnt mean it isnt. I know alot of guys ave shot this ammo and had no problems but persoanlly I wouldnt take it if you gave it to me.
