I just remembered a case of ammo I had stashed away for a rainy day. Here we have nine unopened 300rd "Battle packs" in a case, 2,700 rds in total. 38KG so shipping will be extra. Proof of PAL required. Private sale, so no tax $2,000.00 by EMT please. Send address for shipping quote.

Now selling by the 300 rd Battle Pack, $250.00 per pack plus shipping. Payment by EMT, please send address to confirm shipping. Prompt payment is required to secure your order.



If the case is not sold by tomorrow afternoon, I will sell it by the "Battle Pack" (300Rds) at $250.00 per pack plus shipping.

I believe thus is Berdan primed. I pulled a rd from an identical box which came from Battle pack but not from this case. Bullet is a 55 gr FMJ, sealed with a tar like substance round the case mouth, primers are crimped so this appears to be Mil spec ammo. I can't make out the head stamp, it appears to be an 88 over a 13 but as I say I can't read it for sure and this rd did not come out of this case. I suspect South African military surplus.

Will start selling separate Battle packs around 1 pm. Receipt of EMT after 1 pm will secure your order. There are only nine packs of 300 rds at $250 each plus shipping.

Man, that would be great to have, but for those of us who can only afford a battle pack or two from the lot it also kind of stings. Someone's gonna be lucky and it won't take very long either.

Edit: Thumbs-up on your edit Mr Wolverine. Fingers crossed for tomorrow having numerous lucky people:).

Bought some .308 a few years ago, that was in those plastic/rubber packs. Came from South Africa and was berdan primed.

I’m pretty sure that stuff is South African M193 equivalent ammo

I’m thinking the same. If it is, somebody better move on it quickly. I have shot this ammo and i think its fantastic and very accurate considering what it is....surplus standard mil ball.

IIRC correctly, boxer primed, non corrosive, and reloadable. But not 100 % positive, pretty sure though.

I would grab it, but don’t have cash on hand for this. Although i can trade, lol!!

I still learn something every day.
Being the brass hog I am, I would avoid this stuff less it gets caught up in the 650.

That 88 over 13 sounds like something that would come out of Norinco.
But if it's berdan, I suppose it makes sense it probably came from the same stash.
 
.74 cents a round for 50 year old surplus ammo. I’m sure it’s great ammo and can’t fault a guy for making a buck. But that’s a big no.
