[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Israeli 308; bad stuff?

Posted: 5/20/2005 1:04:34 PM EDT

I just bought 1000 rnds, and now I hear it may make for a kaboom, is this true?

I’ve shot quite a bit of Israeli (TZZ and IMI) 7.62 NATO ammo over the years and not had a single problem. I have heard that Indian ammo has caused some problems.

I've heard some batches were good and others bad. Search the net, maybe the falfiles to find out.

I had some of the TZZ 80 or 81 detonate in a civvie NFA M60, I still have scars in my hand from it.

Had a catastrophic case head failure with TZ 80 ammo while shooting my .308 Mauser-based Pseudo-Scout rifle.

No biggie, but I destroyed the rest of the ammo.
