Around 20 years ago I bought some. Have two plus cans left. Stamped IVI '85, NATO icon. 600 rds/can. Stuff's on stripper clips in cardboard boxes, in bandoleers. Cans are labeled C-77, lot dates to '85.
What I know: http://www.gd-otscanada.com/imports/pdf/en/fiche_technique1.pdf I also gather it wasn't as plentiful when available as SA or Radway. I'd like to know if/how well it holds up over time, if it now is having any issues so I can decide whether to keep it vs blast away. I couldn't find anything in the tacked thread/FAQ section, and not much beyond the above link from my friend, google. So wondering if any ammo forum readers can help. TIA, Sam |
| Thought I'd follow up with a crude range report. Tried some in the K2: 12X optic, less than 5 mph wind, rested, 80 deg. Forgot to bring the Chrony. Zero malfs/20 rds. Anyway, the K2 has a 1:7ish twist. I figured the 2 MOA SA M-193 accuracy was about it. But this stuff put 3 into 1" or less @ 100yds three consecutive tries (I was adjusting POI, as it doesn't print M855 same place as M193). This is my mostly-for-coyotes/ready-by-the-door-for-whatever gun, so will keep the mags loaded with this stuff. Sam |
