DSA Ammunition Warning and 7.62 nato question
Hi All,
I was browsing DSA's website today, and in their ammunition warning, they recommend NOT USING...
Any steel case Russian ammunition
Any steel case Chinese ammunition
Chilean 7.62mm that is marked "NATO"
Cavim 7.62mm from Venezuela
CBC 7.62mm from Brazil
Indian 7.62mm from State factory
1970s production Israeli 7.62mm Browning machinegun ammunition
OK, so I have heard stories about the Indian stuff being potentially dangerous, but I've never heard anything bad about the Chilean, Venezuelan, Brazilian or Israeli ammo.
I'm especially worried about the Israeli stuff, because I have probably about 500 rounds of Israeli IMI 7.62 NATO ammo that I don't want to get rid of, but I hadn't heard that it was unsafe to shoot. For what it's worth, the ammunition I have is headstamped IMI 7,62 71 or 72. Does anyone have experience with this ammo? Good? Bad? Ugly?
Thanks,
Nic
