After many, many years...I'm finally going through all my ammo for an inventory and moving recently purchased into ammo cans. I inventoried this stuff back about 10-15 years ago and only wrote down the quantity and that it's FMJ brass
 It doesn't look anything like the Yugo rounds (the ones I have are on strippers anyway)
Here's some pics - trapezoidal looking box. I think it was purchased back in maybe the late 90's when I picked up my first AK.

Looks like the South African stuff available back then. Good ammo.

Model 1 Mark 3 cartridge That was fast, thanks! I wasn't expecting South Africa as I had no idea they used that round. So, if it's good stuff, I'll put it back in the can
