7.62x51
Have a whole pile (700-800 rounds) of Venezuelan 7.62x51 (green box headstamp CAVIM) that won't cycle my M-1A. I suspect it was for FAL's (not sure) But I'm not sure if I should go out and buy me a bolt gun to shoot it up with. Been wanting a Sav 110 in .308 anyway.
Question is Buy the bolt gun, or have it pulled apart and reloaded to US milspecs?

Where is all this Lake City 7.62x51 ammo coming from? It is obviously loaded for the military because it is coming linked in the MG packs with tracers. Can this much stuff be disappearing from the ranges etc. It is generally not that old and since we are still involved in a couple of shooting wars, surely the military is not surplusing it out yet???
Any ideas??0 -
Where are you seeing "all this" ammo. It is not seen around where I am. It is probably the so called XM Federal stuff that was on the market a few years ago or it could be ammo lifted off some Military base. Where are you seeing it, and what is the price? 0 -

Try looking thru the ads on gun broker. There is tons of it for sale...at outrageous prices. No it is not Federal, I know the difference between Federal and Lake City. 0 -
Now that you mention it....I have bought quite a bit of that linked ammo, every two years or so... Is the US military releasing it every so
often....Where DOES it come from?????[?]0 -
be careful shooting this stuff in your riflesbecause it is hotter than normal rounds. If it is linked it is for machine guns and quit hot. [:)] 0
