I like Port. and Aussie the best. Some folks say the Aussie is the most accurate surplus. South African is pretty good as well. If you can find any I would get the port as it is a little cheaper. It is becoming hard to find.

Load up on the best deal you get for SA or Port. My Imbels are 2.5" on most any ammo, even the pricier Aussie that is moa in my bolt gun. Not worth the extra money in a FAL for me.

I've bought some port that comes in links in the brown ammo cans. Good stuff for sure.

What do you guys do with all the links once you de-link the ammo?

Good question. I haven't had any luck selling them on the EE.

Pick up your empty brass and reassemble the belts. They make great decorations.

I have never owned or met anyone that said stuff made in India/Pakistan is good

The Indian is ok as long as you get it in early to mide seventys, (the british were still running the factorys) but stay a way from the blister packs that are out there.
