Ok, so heres the dealeo, I bought 1000 rounds of this .308 ammo, I was stoked, It was cheap. Then while at the range I was halfway through a 20 round magazine and I mentioned that it seemed like the rounds where shooting "Hot" to some people I was with......

Turns out that the ammo is delinked Machinegun Ammunition that is sealed with tar and Can blow up your rifle. the offending ammunition is stamped on the head 7.62 m-80 OFV 02 and comes in 10 round sealed pouches That state its made in india.

Do Not buy this stuff unless you want an excuse to sit around all night harvesting powder and bullets (as Im doing tonight)

Anyways just a heads up so yall dont get burned like I did

#edit
Oh yea, bought the rounds from Cheaper than dirt usually they have decent product, but this time I got burned =(

I love cheaper than dirt! I have bought countless knives from there and other shit too. I can;t believe that! Did you try and get your money back or anything?

No, at the price I paid for the ammo I should have researched it a bit more (surplus ammo is allways crapshoot really ). Instead Im just finding fun things to do with all this powder ^_^.
