I used to know what this stuff was, but I’ve completely forgotten. I do remember that one of them was of less than stellar quality.

Anybody know the origin of these?  Brown box is completely unmarked.

I think the ones on the left are Turk.  I have some turk with the bullets that color.  Not sure on the right ones.  Need to see the headstamps to be sure.

That was my thought as well!

OP, be sure and scrub your barrel and bolt face with hot soapy water because I'm betting both brands are corrosive!

I think they are both Czechoslovakian

I know, it's RTI, but it could be correct.

I think the one on the right is Bulgarian
never fired any of it so unknown quality.

just saying before anyone else, the Turkish is hot. Noticeably so. Good ammo, but it comes out smoking.

Copper washed is Bulgarian. Shot a case of it 20 yrs ago expect duds and click bangs.

Brass case is Czech.

Yeah that ammo scream's clean me after shooting it. OP probably knows that though. I've shot some of the ones on the left but can't remember where I go it.

I have a ton of that junk. It’s Czech made for export apparently. Usually Czech stuff is decent but apparently they outsourced the primers and they are terrible. It usually has a few hang fires and/or duds every box
