This was being widely sold about a year ago from  most of the reliable sources as coming from Portugal.
Could not the 95 be an indication of the year, as it is for many other ammos?

i assume that 95 is the year and that its std. 123 gr. i wonder if its boxer or berden, corrosive or not, and anything else good/bad about it?

Berdan.  Average accuracy, not bad, not great.  Non corrosive.  1 dud out of 200 rounds fired so far.  More muzzle flash than Wolf and Golden Tiger.  I bought a couple of cases, as I thought the battle pack packaging might come in handy.
