I believe this ammo is actually Syrian mfg, not Egyptian. It is very likely corrosive. I have some of this I bought back maybe 15 years ago. It is over size in that it will not chamber in a bolt action .308 gun, I usually will in a semi-auto gun. This was sold for a short time by Century Arms. I pulled the bullets and used the powder in regular Nato cases. I kept the brass just in case I decided to use it sometime. It can be resized and used if one wants to go to that trouble.

This shoots and chambers fine in my garand and my ruger 77 bolt action and also my Rem 700 but I would agree it is probably a little oversize as the bolt closes harder than normal. I only tested it in the bolt guns figured they were much stronger and didn't want to risk a garand

Yeah, it's Syrian and corrosive, but it will run a 60.
