Since he has "several" boxes of the stuff, my investigation would start with READING THE BOX!

NPA = New Generation Ammunition Pty Ltd, Hennopsmeer, RSA
according to the Intl Ammo Assn @ cartridgecollectors.org. |

Thats ok, I get the dingy award for not being more clear; he's got several boxes worth (200-300rds) loose in an ammo can. |

As far as I can recall, NPA is the headstamp for the infamous Olympic ammo... I guess it's left in ammo can for a good reason because they work worth crap. I ordered 1k about a year back, nothing but FTE... others have horror stories about blown primers too. Check Zhukov's ammo survey, I believe it's on the bottom of the list.
Just check the website... see below www.aaconsult.com/ammoreview/html/_223_reviews.html |

The ammo is Olympic. I've fired plenty with only a few problems.

Another vote for Olympic. Headstamp ID that is. Not an endorsement....
