    Tell me about this stuff

    I know it's obviously 5.56 ball and I'm guessing military. What else might you know, how old is it? M1A3 ?

    South African I think.
    Not sure about age. The stuff I had was mid 80s.

    Don't know about the clear battle packs think that is newer, all I ever had was in brown battle packs dated 83, shot OK about like standard M193 but be aware that at least the older stuff is berdan primed so no reloading.

    I have not shot it yet. It did come out of a battle pack.

    Looks like the same packaging some of my 7.62 x 39 South African ammunition came in.
