IndyArms 10,186 Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 http://www.livejournal.com/community/self_defense/89232.html Bad Ammo Warning - Indian .308 The Smallest Minority has a warning about some bad Indian Milsurp Ammo that has severe problems with both case damage and variance in powder charge (6 grains). The batches have headstamps with OFV M80 and then a date code (usually 97) and a headstamp of KF 762b and then a date code (usually 91). Read his write up, he tested it closely and measured powder charges, don't shoot this stuff with out pulling the bullets and re-loading it. A blown up gun is the least that could happen. (cross posted to Guns and Self Defense for wider coverage, this is a health and safety issue) Thats whats posted on THAT site... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
