Found some assorted stuff I bought several years ago and have no clue what it is. Anyone out there know? I have pretty limited quantities, but if it shoots good i'll try to buy more. I would also like to know the weight of bullet if anyone has that info (but don't bother to pull a round to weigh it).
The first one...numbers at 12 and 6 o'clock are "13" and "86". I added the note on the box wrapper (I put it all in magazines and then tape the info to the mag for when I go to the range).
I do not have a box for this next one...the illegible number at 5 o'clock is "88". WhenI bought the case, I was told it was "british surplus", but not nescesarily radway green.
Thanks for the ID on the South African!

I'd repost this in the ammo forum. They'll identify this stuff and tell you the name of the guy running the machinery at the plant in a few minutes.

L3A1 is an early run of Hirtenberger made for the UK. M3A1 is South African M193 equivalent.
