.223 FMJ find.

[jlouttit]

Anyone know what I have here, maybe its origin?

Thanks.

 

[tiriaq]

Czech.

 

[C Broad Arrow]

Could be corrosive.

 

[rimfire78]

I bought some Russian 7.62x54R packaged the same way, with the red dye around the primer too. - It is corrosive.

 

[mildot]

I had some in the green box, is it that bad?

 

[jlouttit]

Thanks guys, good to know.

 

[crashcollins]

Isn't that Chinese? I don't think it's Czech

 

[saskcop]

It is Czech. I have shot off tons of it. I think the primer is crimped, etc. Shot many rounds through a mini 14 with no probs.

 

[P12]

Where did you buy it, is any more of it available.

That ammo dosen't look safe, I volunteer to test every round

I dont want to but I will help you out as well P12..... It will be tuff work

 

[CanAm]

Czech and almost certainly non-corrosive.

A very nice find BTW.

I can't see the OP's photos but red "dye" is just sealant. Used on many types of Mil and Civi ammo.

 

[crashcollins]

Wow you learn something new here every day, I have one box of that and always thought it was Chinese.

 

[twoshots]

good on ya, keep stocking up, we'll shoot when I get home.

 

[jlouttit]

Good to hear from ya Twoshots. And P12 as for more of this stuff I believe this was the only one at my local shop.

 

[Boombb]

how much $$?

 

[voere270]

Is your shop planning on bringing any more in?

 

[jlouttit]

Dont think so

 

[CanAm]

There isn't any left to bring in.

You can buy the same stuff from your local dealer. It is Sellier & Bellot 223 Rem FMJ.
