Looks like the Portugese know what they're doing; good find!

I remember I bought 3 battle packs two years ago, 250. shipped now the stuff is over a buck a round but well worth it if a person can 'find it' !!!!!!!!

Have you ever tried IVI 5.56? Reason I ask, is because I have some of the stuff that was released back in the 90's - brand new in the 20 rd boxes.

Was gonna try her out in my LTR when she's back from the smith. If anything, I'll have some nice cases for reloading afterwards.

It shot nice out of my AR, just wondering about my Rem 700 LTR.

Cheers, Carl

The 762 IVI was 'released' to the civilian market back in the 90's c/o the 'BCRA' ( for all the CGN lawyers ) 556 IVI I have never had the 'chance' to acquire any......

 

[the judge]

The IVI 7.62 hasn't shot worth a #### in my 700's. Probably better off in the FN.

IIRC 'my' FnC1/C2 shot minute of barn with the IVI

LMAO

I once tried some 168gr Norma Match in my C1's - mind you they were both 8L series and were like new.

They shot nice 1-1.5" for all the bloody recoil! They mangled brass though, so I flung it out afterwards.
