Anyone used the Pakistani surplus ammo? How does it perform?http://www.bulkammo.com/bulk-30-06-springfield-ammo-3006150grfmjpakistansurplus-320

CMP Greek is like 60 cents a round and known quality you know.

 

[Drmsparks]

This stuff is more expensive than the greek and not reloadable. Not a good choice regardless of how it performs.

It's Berdan primed, so even if it's good ammo, you're not getting the cost of brass back. Once fired HXP brass is selling for $0.13 apiece shipped right now, but earlier in the year, I could get $0.17 apiece.

If for whatever reason you want to buy ammo at retail, I'd highly recommend PPU.

Here's some Korean KA. It's corrosive, but it's good ammo with good brass.

If it is anything like the Pakistani surplus 303 ammo you should run away.

Agreed. That stuff used to hang fire like crazy in my SMLE!

Wonder if its POF head stamp "Percentage of Failures"

POF = POS

Greek is about $0.10/rd less, is reloadable, and you get an 'old' ammo can.

Give this serious consideration, as CMP is really slow to ship and this is nice stuff:
