[ARCHIVED THREAD] - .308 ammo ID

Posted: 11/19/2008 8:05:57 PM EDT

I just bought 500 rounds of this stuff, but I have no idea what it is or who makes it.

Can anyone help me ID this stuff? No, I don't have it in my possession yet, so no headstamp available, just this pic.

Yeah, I know, shoulda asked what it was before I bought it.

Looks like USSR or Chinese stuff from the paper, I've yet to see a NATO tied up bag of ammo.

I wouldn't touch if with those pics myself. Since you already bought it, it might be corrosive so take precautions.

Possibly South African?

The paper bundle has ex-Warsaw pact written all over it.

A headstamp would clear everything up.

The tarnished cases kind of remind me of the Indian .308 that was available some time ago, but it didn't come packaged like that.
