Re: 147gr South African mil surplus
I happen to have close to 2000 round left. I used it for a while, and it never performed all that well for me in a gun where FGMM shoots 0.4" 5-shot groups and my reloads shoot 0.35" 5-shot groups, it tends to shoot 1.1" 5-shotters.
I would not call it "all that good".
But, hey, if it shoots in your gun.....

Re: 147gr South African mil surplus
Out of curiosity what type of rifle do you use this ammo with and at what ranges are you shooting? The reason I ask is because this ammo is standard battle rifle fodder based on the NATO M80 round. It is typically not considered accurate. As far as I know the NATO equivalent is used for machineguns where volume of fire is more important than accuracy. As far as getting the info you need try looking into the M80. There are several companies that produce an M80 equivalent like Winchester and Magtech. I believe I even bought a box of Winchester .308 once with the NATO headstamp. When it comes to accuracy the membership of this forum holds very high standards. They typically only use match ammo like Federal Gold Medal Match or load their own. Military surplus ammo typically (read 99.999999999% of the time) is not very accurate. But who knows? Maybe your rig is an exception. I hope this helps. Keep us posted.
