South African ammo question

[Monkeyman2500]

Is old South African 7.62x51 any good? Edited April 23, 2013 by Monkeyman2500

I have run it through my Ishapore 2A1 with terrific results. 2 MOA at 100 yards from the bench. 

 

Note, that was my best 3 shot group. 5 shot group always widened with the 4th and 5th shot.

Some of the best milsurplus out there.

Thanks guys, I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it or not, but wanted to know if it was any good. Y'all always got the answers.

Terrible stuff.  You are going to hate it, so I'll be glad to take it all off your hands to dispose of safely through my FAL. :dirty:

Seriously, I've shot thousands of rounds of this through a variety of rifles and machine guns.  I've never heard or seen any issues.  Brass-cased, lead-core bullets with flash suppressant like US military rounds.  The only thing I didn't like about it was that it's Berdan primed, so not easily reloadable.  That's a shame as the brass is high quality.
