Which does point to R16/rd for factory milsurp is not bad, considering the time o e doesn't have to spend reloading...

Tactical HQ have been trying to get some bulk for almost 12 months.
No luck yet.
Massive US demand and now Ukraine war are being blamed.

Closest seems to be PMP 308 143gr bulk currently:
960 rounds https://www.euroopticafrica.co.za/30...0--contai.aspx
1260 rounds https://www.euroopticafrica.co.za/30...imed-Crat.aspx

I finally got hold of some PMP Battlepack goodness courtesy of Johann at EuroOptics.

The only thing that puzzles me is why PMP manufactured battlepacks in .308 Win and not the military application 7.62x51 calibre?, not that I am complaining as the .308 Win is boxer primed.

Invest in precious metals I say - it is not getting any cheaper.

What did you pay?

lots of that was imported into the US about 15 years ago. I got 4 cases, each had 9 140 round battlepacks.
It was made in 1980 and 81. Good quality mil ammo.

I think those were produced for Bisley Target Rifle in the days (up to early 2000’s) when all competitions were conducted with issued ammo.

I don’t have that lot number in my notes but recall other PMP 7.62 mil ammo which was pretty good. They also produced 308W Palma ammo with 155gr bullets, but I doubt any is left now.
