I bought about 300 rnds of 556 from a local shop that was packaged in stripper clips and bandoleers.

So. what manufacturer is RORG?

British Radway Green

"Royal Ordinance Radway Green"

good ammo. it has the NATO circle and cross, but its a little slower than lake city M855, i think this is because the SA80 doesnt like the hot stuff. the tips aren't painted green, because the brits never used the M193, so they don't need to distinguish it from 55 ball.

but its high quality military ammunition. there used to be a lot of it around, but its a bit scarce now. nice find! i wish i had more left. i bought a few cases years back and i think i only have about half a dozen stripper clips left :( one case had a lot tracers mixed in with it tho, it was loose ammo. i saved all of those. :D

:mad: Man I am jsut pissed now that I wasted good "stash" ammo:mad:

Well I at least saved the brass for reloading and still have 150 rnds of it left.

Thanks for the ID though.
