Was wandering around a local gunshop today and I came across 5 boxes of ammo marked:
AB 22
20 Patronen
7,62mmx51, DM 41, (nato cross)
(black circle) Weichkern
Munition für Präzisionsbeschüsse
LOS MEN - 76 - 28
I cant find any specs on this ammo at all, other than that it is intended for use in a sniper rifle/DMR, the german directly translating to Munitions for precision bombardments, and that they are soft core (weichkern). The price tag says that it is 147 grain bullets, so i am not sure about the accuracy of that label.
The rounds themselves still have the annealing marks around the neck and shoulder. The primer is sealed with green enamel and crimped in three equally spaced spots. Head stamp reads MEN 76. The bullet is copper in color and magnetic.
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.
