Thread: Military surplus ammo

It is interesting how different ammo degrades over time.

Pretty much all the German 8mm is buggered now. However the 9x19 seems fine.

The LC 3006 and .45 supplied to Norway under the Marshall aid plan is erratic at best,often the projectiles are corroded inside the case and when you pull the bullet there is a hiss of escaping gas.

A guy I know had 8000 rounds of 303 that was smuggled to the resistance during the war,it was stored in it's wooden crates that were sealed in tin.Ammo looks bright and shiney but at least 10% won't go off and as many hang fire.

I think GC is walking a fine line with there Greek HXP.
