british surplus ammo

[vanhoutster 0]

I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the british 5.56 stuff their army uses. I happend to run across a whole bunch of it. comes in a little green shoulder sling on stripper clips. mainly just wondering if they use corrosive primers and such.

no, no, no worries, these are quite good! any of the new or old british empire stuff is quite good, better than nato from what i have used.

I have been buying some surplus Brit 5.56/223 ammo at the gunshows here and guess what- STEEL CORE/light AP! wooo hooo!!! It is the 62 grain stuff and shoots fine in my rifles.

I like to drag my boiler plates out and do comparisons on the penetration of ammo.

Tell you 1 thing,at about 100-125 yds my russkie M47 nagant and my chech mauser will just about penetrate my 3/4" boiler plate with surplus militayr ball, I think it is higher pressure since they tended to load all ammo for machine gun use regardless if you carried one or not. something to think about-brick wall-cover? I THINK NOT!!!

You must be refering to the Radway Arsenal ss109.

 

I bought one of the loose packed cans of 720 rounds for cheaper.

 

I am not dissappointed. It is excellent ammo!
