    It is remanufactured military ammo, they had quite a run of separated case heads a few years back, I remember they claimed that now all the brass was stuff fired through the new rifles and not sloppy old Steyrs that it wouldn't be a problem any longer. Not sure if that's true or not, but I've always found its shot well.

    Here are a few photos, there is a slight indentation on side of few casings. Will let the experts suggest their origin etc

    thanks

    I've seen indents like that on my own brass after a newbie was a little hamfisted when loading up a magazine prior to shooting. Instead of placing the next round quite flat on top of the previous round, they were forcing the base of the next round onto the side of the previous round in order to push it into the magazine.

    (Did I describe that well enough to understand?)

    Of course it could just be dented as the result of another round being dropped on top of it during handling.

    Or... I could just be fullashit and way off the mark.

    Either way, Works good.
    Adi cases fired by the military in loose Chambers reloaded by Belmont and sold by hunting and fishing. Had 5 case head seperations in a ruger M77. Shoot pretty alright but getting stuck cases out isn't worth it the last one was a really bitch to get out

    OK guys you should definitely try the speer gold dot 62grain stuff from guncity or whoever can get it. Much better ammo works great on game no risk of case head seperations. I reloaded the brass as my subsonic loads as it stands out with the nickel plated brass. The projectiles performed great fairly soft but kept together. Shot tahr, fallow, reds, pigs, and lots of wallabyes rabbits etc. Was pretty cheap really.

    Wilson have them 25 a box or 110 for 100 so actually cheaper than 60 for 50 rounds of the humping and fucking ammo

    Only case that has separated was one I decided to reload for some reason separated in the die.
    I've fired several thousand over the last few years in semis and bolt actions with no problem. I do pick up the brass where feasible but it goes for scrap.

    The Belmont ammo is great and is 60c a round when buying 1000 rounds. I have head shot heaps of hares, wallaby and deer with it. Have been through 1000 rounds of it.
