Spanish 7.62

If you shake the cartredge and you can hear the powder inside it's probably OK.
I was told the Spanish 7.62 X 51 is loaded light, because it was used in the 95 Mauser actions converted to 7.62 X 51 from 7 X 57.

OK gentleman step in and say something if I am wrong.

I could use some of that ammo as I have a number of Spanish guns in my collection that are in 7.62.

Does anyone know what is a good load for the Spanish Model 95 Mousers?

H, followed by a date code is Chartered Industries of Singapore.
0 = 1980, 1 = 1981.
Fine to use, good quality fodder.

Anyone else?
Chinese .308? Should I go buy the rest of it? @ .50cents a pop?

These days that isn't a bad price, its pretty typical for 7.62 ball ammo.

.50 cents a piece for surplus is always a good price compated to .60 or .90 cents commercial. It would be an even better buy if the cases are Boxer primed and reloadable.

I still have a few rounds of the same stuff, goes bang every time you pull the trigger, no worries.

Ya, It would suk to spend the money for a one shot deal.
Would rather invest in good brass and come up with my own load for the money.

The Singapore stuff is Berdan primed ..... not reloadable. I had a few boxes and just finished off the last few rounds this year. Reliable and fairly accurate though.
